We’ve fact checked Jeremy Hunt 23 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.

“Three of my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister’s five pledges at the start of the year were economic: to halve inflation, grow the economy and reduce debt. Today I can report to the House that we are delivering on all three.”
Jeremy Hunt, 22 November 2023
Will halving inflation mean a ‘5p boost’ to incomes?

Jeremy Hunt, 2 October 2023
