Andrew Gwynne MP
We’ve fact checked Andrew Gwynne twice. We’ve asked him to correct the record once. Join others in his constituency of Gorton and Denton to ask him 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 Andrew Gwynne twice
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.
Labour overstates amount spent on ‘dodgy PPE’ which will be burnt

We’ve asked Andrew Gwynne 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 Andrew Gwynne about one of his claims. He has yet to correct the record.
