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 Claire Coutinho once
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.
We’ve asked Claire Coutinho to correct the record once
It’s important that those making claims in public life correct their mistakes. We follow up on our fact checks to ask politicians and media organisations to issue corrections when they get things wrong.
We have been in touch with Claire Coutinho about one of her claims. She has yet to correct the record.
Claire Coutinho made an unevidenced claim about Labour being ‘relaxed’ about taxing meat on 2 October 2023
Together we can demand higher standards in public life
A new government is a new opportunity to improve the quality of public debate and restore trust in politics.
People in East Surrey believe Claire Coutinho must stand up for honesty
