**Ali is back with semi-regular co-host, Paul Dobson, to dissect one of our fact checks.**

This week, we look into a claim by Scottish Labour leader, Anas Sarwar, about NHS waiting times.

Then Ali speaks to, [Rhiannon Davies](https://twitter.com/RhiannonDavies?ref=theferret.scot), about how misinformation in Govanhill, one of Scotland’s most diverse neighbourhoods, led her to set up [Greater Govanhill Magazine](https://www.greatergovanhill.com/?ref=theferret.scot) .

The area is part of first minister Nicola Sturgeon’s constituency, and regularly appears in mainstream media articles in Scotland and beyond.

Rhiannon also takes us through a new collaboration taking place between Greater Govanhill Magazine and The Ferret, looking at health inequalities.
