Dishonesty of Tory politicians is a national scandal. When will Theresa May face punishment for THAT?
Liar, liar: Theresa May habitually tries to deceive the UK’s electorate. The mechanisms to stop her from doing this are never invoked and the mainstream media never hold her to account.
Yes, Brexit. Yes, the threat of a confidence vote in Theresa May. But while all that is going on, she is still lying through her teeth to the nation about other important matters.
Only last week, on talk radio station LBC, she claimed that a Labour government would tax poor people more than the rich, in order to pay for the abolition of tuition fees. This is a lie.
Labour made a manifesto commitment that taxes would not rise for people earning less than £80,000 a year, and that policy would be funded with an increase in Corporation Tax, which the Tories have cut to a ridiculously low level.
And that’s not all. Here’s Peter Stefanovic:
How long are broadcasters going to tolerate shameless lying from Tory Politicians? This is not a game, it’s peoples lives! The clip of Theresa May lying on national radio about Labours tax policy is absolutely shocking! It’s up to all of us now to expose this pic.twitter.com/xD9tL1gliP

The volume and frequency of Tory lies is intolerable, yet nobody in a position to do anything about it can be bothered.
It’s corruption – one law for the privileged, another for the poor.
We must have reform.
And it must be carried out by people who don’t have anything to gain from it.

Never, in all my life, have I known such a thoroughly corrupt and dishonest set of politicians. They don’t even bother to hide their stinking corruption and dishonesty. One problem is that the mainly right wing media is complicit in their corruption and dishonesty.
this is a problem – we must have the worst media this side of the atlantic = and what to do about it ?
Lying has become normalised. Politicians speaking through their ring-piece is now an everyday event and I think people have become habituated to it.
Look at Trump, he does this blatantly, coming out with garbage off the top of his head and his followers thin he’s a bit of a ‘lag’ for doing so.
perhaps there has been an evolutionary change in the biology of politicians so that their rectum has migrated to their mouths.
Quite frankly I don’t know how we’re ever going to get back to decency on this, it’s now accepted as normal. We’re becoming like the Saudis…
Will the PM be punished for underhandedness? Unless it’s at the ballot box, sadly, no
Fraudulent trading by may through to her husband hedge fund that initself is fraud traitors gate openned up so that her and all those corrupted politicians can have their just deserts
ReMAYn seems determined with the withdrawal agreement, twice the length of the Lisbon constitutional treaty, to ignore the people trash democracy and keep us in the corrupt democratically deficient Eu in perpetuity. Remainers must be wetting themselves with glee at this capitulation.
You’ve probably no idea how galling it is to hear someone supporting Labour to call for an end to lies in politics…especially when you’re Scottish. There is no difference between Labour and the Tories, they server the exact same people, the exact same ‘State’ of affairs. Trident, war, austerity, Brexit, it doesn’t matter which major topic you pick Labour have either directly voted with the Tories or abstained to their favour. SHAME ON LABOUR, I hope they all burn in hell for what they’ve allowed to happen over the last decade.
Would you like me to call a doctor and send them your email address? Your tranquillisers don’t seem to be working.
