I continue to be impressed by the resounding silence of @HetanShah. You have had the legitimate concerns about global poverty estimates brought to your attention. Do you not feel any need to qualify the earlier apparently hearty endorsement by @royalstatsoc of those statistics?

@mattberkley Have you or others seen any public or private statement revisiting its endorsement of existing global poverty estimates from @royalstatsoc @hetanshah?

I have yet to see a substantive response or change from the RSS, after the proposal that it provide evidence for its global poverty claim, or retract it. @Deborah_Ashby @StatsJen @d_spiegel @DianeCoyle1859 @MonaChalabi @LibertyVittert @BBCMarkEaston @benatipsosmori @gemmatetlowpic.twitter.com/wzECPBV5HJ

The Royal Statistical Society has also failed to reply on its repeated error understating Millennium Declaration pledges, and multiple errors on the "UK Statistic of the Year". https://twitter.com/mattberkley/status/806820999324909568 … https://twitter.com/mattberkley/status/1076086463446614016 … https://twitter.com/mattberkley/status/1080412111501709312 …pic.twitter.com/w1eykad6OD

If there is a substantial amount of output from the Royal Statistical Society correctly stating that world leaders in 2015 agreed and reaffirmed targets for 2020 and 2025, I have yet to see it.pic.twitter.com/reJJo0tIcT

Is anyone willing to defend Professor Spiegelhalter's claim? If not: 1. Why is it on a Royal Statistical Society website? 2. Why is it on a press regulator's website? 3. What has the Society done to rectify wrong impressions among journalists and the public?pic.twitter.com/vlHelqUqE2

Replying to @mattberkley @sanjaygreddy and

The Royal Statistical Society has spread further misinformation: "we have received some criticism for *reporting* the World Bank figures." The criticism was in fact largely of the Society's claims, and discrimination against people in poor countries. https://www.statslife.org.uk/features/4109-debates-prompted-by-our-2018-stats-of-the-year …pic.twitter.com/qQacICYAN3

Replying to @mattberkley @sanjaygreddy and

The Society seems not to have addressed a key problem: the damaging effect of misinformation of this kind on politics, policy choices and voters' perceptions of the success of governments. It should be obvious that this risks lives.
