Updates to the checks of claims by Partit Laburista (Labour Party): new claims, verdicts, report versions and replies. A record, not a score. https://leandergrech.github.io/Mizien/bodies/pl/ 2026-10-05T12:00:00Z Miżien tag:leandergrech.github.io,2026:mizien:CC-011:2026-10-05:version-1-2:split-at-the-maintainer-s-request-this-check-now-covers-labour-s-ten-minute-pledge-only-under-the-title-ten-minutes-walk-to-green-space-the-pn-s-net-zero-gozo-pledge-and-its-arithmetic-are-now-claim-check-107-labour-s-analysis-and-numbers-are-unchanged-references-renumbered-verdict-and-confidence-unchanged 2026-10-05T12:00:00Z

Version 1.2: Split at the maintainer’s request: this check now covers Labour’s ten-minute pledge only, under the title “Ten minutes’ walk to green space”. The PN’s net-zero Gozo pledge and its arithmetic are now Claim Check 107. Labour’s analysis and numbers are unchanged; references renumbered. Verdict and confidence unchanged.. CC-011, Governance & Promises; pledge label so far: Not measurable (draft, pending right of reply).

Version 1.3: Maintainer decision (5 Oct 2026): pledges get one of six pledge labels instead of a verdict (methodology, Pledges).

Appendix A lists the pledge labels.. CC-011, Governance & Promises; pledge label so far: Not measurable (draft, pending right of reply).

Version 1.1: corrections: Corrections: the flyer said that, read broadly, the pledge “is met today”; it now says “already almost met”, as the report does (a screening estimate). The unsourced seat count (“36 seats to 29”) is removed; the 30 May 2026 election is now sourced. Verdict and confidence unchanged.. CC-011, Governance & Promises; pledge label so far: Not measurable (draft, pending right of reply).

Version 1.2: Upgrade: (1) New Figure 1, trees reported (more than 8,000 in 2024; about 60,000 and more than 57,000 by end-2025) against the five-year window of pledge 305 (75% elapsed by end-2025; the 30 May 2026 election at 84%), with shrubs and vouchers kept out; it replaces the Section 2 tiles. (2) Searched for a count after the 30 May 2026 election (Project Green’s news to 5 October 2026; web searches): none found. (3) New sub-claim table in Section 4 (A–D); TL;DR, a tile, verdict box, cover note, flyer and claim.yml updated. Version and date added to the cover. Cover, page footer and flyer: “pending right of reply” → “right of reply not sought”, matching the text. Maintainer decision (5 Oct 2026): pledge delivery rated separately as Not substantiated; overall verdict unchanged.. CC-010, Land & Trees; verdict so far: Largely supported (draft, right of reply not sought).

Version 1.1: corrections: Corrections: the pledge was framed as open until 2027; it now records that the legislature ended with the snap general election of 30 May 2026 [8] and that about 75% of the five-year period had passed by end-2025, against about 60% of the trees reported (the “2027 deadline” tile is replaced). Added Labour's own 2026 manifesto count, more than 57,000 trees for 2022–2025 [9], alongside the Minister's ~60,000. Updated the voucher scheme to 23,000 trees in vouchers issued by 13 May 2026 [10]; vouchers are not trees planted. Cover note shortened to fit; italics fixed. Verdict and confidence unchanged.. CC-010, Land & Trees; verdict so far: Largely supported (draft, right of reply not sought).
