I think that the whole stinking lot of them are liars. It’s like watching cats fight in a sack.
But the whole point I have been making for so, so long is that right from the outset of the Brexit campaign those who have lied have not been sufficiently challenged or scrutinised or held to account and therefore many people have just accepted that this is now the norm and have become desensitised. Cummings was the architect of the £350m NHS lie, was a hypocrite when he went to BC and is someone I would not trust.
Sat here watching QT with my long suffering wife - who is definitely in the centre when it comes to politics - and whilst I was composing my last message she - completely unprompted - said exactly the same re our politicians lying now being the accepted norm
Again, Halfcock lies brazenly to the HoC.

It has become desensitised because it has been bandied about so much - incorrectly in my view. I have said ages ago that the time would come when because some people were calling everything a lie, people would not be able to recognise when that really happened. Politicians may be incorrect, but it doesn't mean they are lying !!! It has now become the norm for television pundits to use the same language - and they are rarely pulled up about it. It is absolutely wrong and needs stamping out. MPs who blatantly lie should be pulled up by the speaker and kicked out of the House, but calling everything a lie needs to stop !Sat here watching QT with my long suffering wife - who is definitely in the centre when it comes to politics - and whilst I was composing my last message she - completely unprompted - said exactly the same re our politicians lying now being the accepted norm
But is it a deliberate lie, or has he been misinformed by his department? How would he know how many jabs are being dispensed he isn't there to count them?Hancock claims Bolton is doing 'tens of thousands' of jabs per day
The Health Secretary said today: 'The number of vaccinations happening in Bolton right now is phenomenal - tens of thousands every single day.' But his claim is not reflected in official data.www.dailymail.co.uk
The only numbers available from the NHS site are for the area.
Edge. He’s not ‘literally’ the Health Secretary. He is the effin Health Secretary! If he hasn’t got a scooby’s about the figures, then who the hell does?
Jesus. He was boasting that over 10000 per day were receiving the vaccine. The figures show that on the best day it was circa 3.5k (still a very commendable achievement) but the average was around 2.5k per day.
At PMQs yesterday Johnson had an ideal opportunity to answer all the questions put to him by Kier Starmer and put this issue to bed (hopefully one that he and Carrie actually paid for themselves)?
But as is always the case, rather than providing a straight answer he side-stepped and evaded them, blustered and acted like a spoilt child who had been told off and was having a strop.
But there are more questions to answer, as SKY have pointed out.
PMQs didn't help much - these key unanswered questions remain over Boris Johnson's flat refurb
Sky's Sam Coates outlines the difficult questions still facing the prime minister over the expensive refurbishment of his flat.www.google.co.uk
James - just ask yourself - does it really matter? Most people in this country think the vaccination programme to be a roaring success. Hancock has made a mistake. Is it going to change the course of the pandemic? Is it heck as like. More bullets wasted and back to the pop guns for Labour.
Yes it effin bloody well does! At least to me and thousands of others who can’t abide the manner in which those at the very top of our government lie on an almost systematic basis.
