Tim Harford investigates some of the numbers in the news, and in life. This week:
We debunk a false claim that the hotel bill for immigrants is the size of the tax bill for Manchester.
An article in the Spectator claimed that 4% of women aged between 18 and 34 in the UK are OnlyFans creators. We track down the source and discover that it is not very good.
Do people in Scotland use much more water than people in Yorkshire? If so, why?
And we examine a popular claim that today’s working mothers spend more time with their children than your stereotypical 1950s housewife did.
Make sure you get in touch if you’ve seen a number you think Tim and the team should take a look at. The email is moreorless@bbc.co.uk
