What claims from the UK general election should we fact check?

Throughout the 2019 election campaign, the Guardian will be fact-checking claims made by political parties as they battle for seats in the House of Commons.

Conservative, Labour, Lib Dem, Green Party, Brexit Party, independent or other – we will be scrutinising what all candidates for parliament are saying to test their veracity.

We will be keeping an eye on contenders well-known or new to politics, from set-piece speeches to remarks made on the doorstep, from appearances on the Today programme to BBC Question Time and from pamphlets shoved through doors to posts on social media.

Why can you trust the Guardian? The Guardian is owned by The Scott Trust, whose core purpose is to ensure the financial and editorial independence of the Guardian in perpetuity. The Trust frees the Guardian from commercial or political interference - we don’t have a wealthy owner pulling the strings, and any profits are reinvested into our journalism rather than into shareholders’ pockets.
