Angela Rayner MP
We’ve fact checked Angela Rayner 19 times. We’ve asked her to correct the record three times. Join others in her constituency of Ashton-under-Lyne to ask her to stand up for honesty in public life.
Your trust should be earned. Any MP making serious claims in public debate should be prepared to get their facts right, back up what they say with evidence and correct their mistakes.
When politicians fall short, we can demand better. Join us and take action for higher standards in public life now.
We’ve fact checked Angela Rayner 19 times
Full Fact scrutinises claims made by politicians on all sides of political debate. We prioritise claims that have the potential to cause most harm.
Our team isn’t able to monitor and fact check all claims made by every politician, so this list isn’t exhaustive. It isn’t accurate to use these examples to draw comparisons about the overall behaviour of individual MPs or political parties.
