Changelog
What changed, when, and why.
Every material change to this record gets logged here. A corrected figure, a reworded claim, an entry added or removed, a source replaced because the old one turned out not to say what I thought it said. Dated, and with the reason.
This is not an unusual standard. It is simply the one that was not applied to most of what is documented on the front page. Entry 10 of the timeline is a government changing who may ever become a citizen of this country by rewriting internal caseworker guidance — no vote, no announcement, no note saying what changed. Guidance can be quietly amended overnight. So can a website.
So here is the alternative, and it costs nothing. If a figure here moves, you will be able to see that it moved, when, and what it moved from. If I got something wrong, that will stay visible after I fix it — which is the entire point, and the reason a correction is worth more than never having been challenged.
First publication
55 dated entries, 4 July 2024 to 7 September 2026, carrying 131 source links. Compiled over several days, then put through an independent review before release.
- Reviewed before publishing, not after. Four separate passes: a fact-check of every date, figure and quote against its sources; a search for omissions; a hostile reading looking for the weakest link; and a technical audit. Roughly sixty corrections were applied as a result.
- Errors caught and fixed pre-launch included: a wrong Labour majority, a misdated COBRA meeting, an arrest total attached to the wrong month, preliminary election figures mistaken for final ones, an interval stated as eighteen months that was five and a half, and a claim that the Palestine Action ban had lapsed between judgments when it had not.
- Entries added for balance after review flagged the record as reading too much like a straight line: the scrapping of the Rwanda scheme on Labour's second day, the recognition of Palestine, and the Casey audit.
- Sourcing is uneven and the page says so. Sixteen entries rest on a single source; four of those are Wikipedia, used for chronology rather than any contested claim. One reported arrest could not be corroborated at all and is marked unconfirmed on its face.
