On at least 9 occasions, Boris Johnson stood up in Parliament and claimed there were more people employed in 2021than before the pandemic. The truth was that the employment numbers were at least 600 000 lower, and had suffered the largest fall in over 30 years

Will Moy, Chief executive of the independent fact checking organisations "Full Fact" personally informed him at least 6 times that he was misleading parliament, and the normal procedure would be to expect the MP who had "inadvertently" given false information to correct it at the first possible opportunity, but Boris Johnson repeated the lie, knowingly, again, and again and again.

24/11/21,then 15/12/11,then 5/1/22/ then 12/1/22/then19/1/22 etc.

Similarly, the independent Office for statistics regulation informed Boris Johnson that his oft repeated statement that crime was down 14 % was wrong, it was in fact UP 14%

I am writing to my MP to ask why only one lies is being investigated, when there is proof of constant, deliberate lying in parliament.

It might be a couple of years ago now, but I don't think we can afford to allow people like this to treat the whole parliamentary system with such contempt and get away with it.

They all lie, they’re all self serving.

And therein lies the reason too many voters put up with the likes of Johnson. We need to start demanding integrity and not just shrug our shoulders in acceptance.

To want ALL of Boris Johnson's lies in parliament investigated

I look forward to the inquiry being published in March 2073.

maybe, but most manage to stay within the accepted parameters of behavioural standards, twist the truth, maybe, exaggerate, maybe, give opinions, maybe

repeatedly stand up in parliament and make statements that are known to be totally fictitious - that crosses a line

we need a line somewhere, and we need to uphold it

Yes, this is how I feel, there needs to be a line, and we need to defend that line, we cant just accept our whole system being trashed by someone who thinks they are above the standards expected by everyone else

also, would like to see him pay for his own legal advice himself, rather than charge £200k to the tax payer

If he is so innocent, why does he need £200 k of legal advice?

What about those PPE contracts given to his friends, millions of pounds for no PPE to ever materialise?

Did anything ever come of that?

They all lie, remember Tony Blair lying and taking us to war?

maybe he needs bringing to justice too, but that is not what this thread is about

Some more than others. Degrees of lying matter.

For what it's worth I think lying comes so naturally to Johnson that he doesn't even realise he does it anymore. He'll be sitting in that committee right now convinced that he's done nothing wrong and genuinely not understanding why the cover-up was a big deal.

I think he genuinely believes he is a superior being that normal human rules and laws don't apply to

'And therein lies the reason too many voters put up with the likes of Johnson. We need to start demanding integrity and not just shrug our shoulders in acceptance.'

Spot on

This morning Johnson admitted he misled the house but in good faith.

Just now he said 'To say I misled the House recklessly is untrue'
