Our politicians make vital decisions and declarations every day that rely on official data. But should all statistics be trusted? In 'Bad Data', House of Commons Library statistician Georgina Sturge draws back the curtain on how governments of the past and present have been led astray by figures littered with inconsistency, guesswork and uncertainty.
