Boris Johnson misleads Parliament AGAIN. Why did the UK ask for a liar to be prime minister?
Every day when I wake up and remember that Boris Johnson is prime minister, I wonder what went wrong.
It was bad enough when David Cameron was in charge, with his backwards ideas about benefits and the economy, and his concern for the Conservative Party above the nation that led to the EU referendum.
Then it got worse when Theresa May took over and proved incapable of doing anything apart from victimising people of minority ethnic origin.
Now we have Johnson, who appears to be incapable of uttering a factual accuracy and whose government is therefore – not unsurprisingly – marinating itself in corruption.
Today’s howler was his claim, in Prime Minister’s Questions, that Keir Starmer had voted against a promise of a 2.1 per cent pay rise for nurses – that his own government is breaking.
The plan was in the NHS Funding Bill last year – which passed without a formal vote because all the main parties supported it. Starmer didn’t need to vote, but if he had, he would have supported the Bill.
It will be interesting to see how Downing Street mangles the English language in order to pretend his claim is accurate.
After he said there would be no funding cut for the body tasked with improving transport in the north (he’s taking away 40 per cent of its funding), Downing Street tried to suggest he had been talking about transport generally for the north of England.
And after he claimed all Covid-19 contracts had been published and were “on the record” – only to be contradicted by the High Court – a minister said all CANs – Contract Award Notices – had been published. They are not the same thing.
This time, he has declared – on television – that the leader of the Opposition took part in a vote that did not take place, and in doing so, voted against a Bill he supported.
I’d wish Johnson’s Downing Street advisors the best of luck finding a way out of that – but I want them, and him, to fall flat on their faces.

Johnson tells Tory voters and supporters what they want to hear. As far as he and they are concerned, it doesn’t matter if these outpourings are lies, half-truths or total bollocks. Tory flag-shaggers are being given the narrative that they want listen to and that they want to be the truth. The BBC and the rest of the MSM confirm that it’s correct, and accurate. Therefore, it must be factual, and so all is well with the world. Even the LOTO supports the government, and it’s just those far-left commie bastards who are complaining about our wonderful, world-beating government. NHS Test & Trace might not be working too well, which just goes to prove that the government should have handed this vital task to private companies, who would have done a much better job for a lot less money.
