Heres another one which is Boris Johnson's pledge for 50,000 new nurses which is not quite what it seems.

Sorry but I’m struggling to see the problem.
The pledge the Tories have made is 50,000 *more*, not 50,000 *new*. They haven’t said “new”. They have said they believe they can retain, or re-recruit about 18,000 of that number, which is an entirely sensible aim given that in all those cases those nurses will be trained and familiar with NHS practices.
There are tried and tested HR strategies for improving staff retention that are used by employers across all sectors of our economy. I don’t understand why what is considered a desirable and efficient use of resources literally everywhere else, is suddenly duplicitous when pledged of the NHS.
But then, as I’ve observed before, people will see what they want to see.
