Labour do this all the time, fail to do their sums. Are they all Eton classicists like Boris?

In Labourlist on 7th November 2020, an excitable writer translates 1.2 billion as ‘billions.’

On Thursday 23^rd January 2020, in Holyrood, James Kelly (Glasgow) (Scottish Labour) asked the Scottish Government what its response is to recently reported alcohol-related brain damage statistics, which suggest that the number of people with this condition is at a 10-year high.

The answer: Last year, ‎2018-19 shows a drop in the number of patients with ARBD, a decline of 3% from the previous year

The actual data:

2017/18                810

2018/19                785
