Boris gets away with it, again



Boris has lied and has got away with it.
  
 
First of all, issues about the cost of living was raised by Keir Starmer in PMQ's along with bringing in a Windfall Tax to help people. 
  
 
When it came to his statement in Parliament, he did not admit to lying to Parliament, but claimed ignorance. Keir Starmer compared his stance, which is a promise to resign if he is found guilty of breaking the law, to that of Boris Johnson. While Boris Johnson brought up the call by Keir Starmer for the PM resign if investigated, but omitted the context, which is that he called for the Prime Minister to resign if he was to be investigated for parties that Boris Johnson said did not happen. Boris Johnson also lied when he said that Keir Starmer did not bring up Beergate and also lied in the statement when he said that Keir Starmer did not bring up issues with the cost of living.

Despite saying he takes responsibility for the Downing Street parties, he has not accepted that he lied.
