A Conservative Party Facebook ad seems to have altered the headline of a BBC News article so that it claims there will be a "£14 billion pound cash boost for schools".

The ads make it appear that the BBC endorsed the £14bn figure, when in fact they criticised it. The BBC told us that the headline on the article has never changed and so has never referred to the £14 bn.

It’s inappropriate for political parties, or any public body, to misrepresent the work of independent journalists in this way.

We’ve asked the Conservative Party whether it altered the headline for the purposes of the ad.
