Fact check: More than 300 influential British public figures have signed an appeal to Prime Minister Keir Starmer regarding Gaza.

Verdict: mostly true — Trust Score 70/100

The event described is authentic; in May 2025, Dua Lipa and over 300 British public figures signed a letter to PM Keir Starmer calling for an end to UK 'complicity' in Gaza. However, the post is confirmed by 4 sources to be recycled content from over a year ago, misleadingly framed with 'LIVE' news branding in June 2026.
