The Prime Minister has not submitted any corrections to the official file of the House of Commons, despite the fact that he was reprimanded by the statistical service and his erroneous statements were pointed out by opposition MPs and auditors. The Labor Party has accused the government of disrespecting the public with a “litany of lies and lies”, while conservative former Attorney General Dominic Grieve said the figures showed “a contempt for both good governance and the truth”. The 17 false statements attributed to Mr. Johnson following an investigation by The Independent, in collaboration with Full Fact, include allegations of Downing Street parties, refugees, Covid supporters, crime rates and the economy. He is among at least 27 uncorrected false statements made by ministers in parliament since the December 2019 general elections. Angela Reiner, the deputy leader of the Labor Party, said the prime minister was “demoting his office”. “This procession of lies and lies shows a complete lack of public respect for this conservative government and its ministers,” he told the Independent. “The ministerial code is absolutely clear that the mistakes must be corrected as soon as possible and the deliberate deception of the parliament should mean resignation. “But the ministers are taking the lead from the prime minister himself, who has no problem repeating takeovers and conspiracy theories.” Calls are mounting for a new system to ensure that false statements can be challenged in parliament without lawmakers breaking a rule forbidding them from accusing each other of lying. Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davy said: “Every time Mr Johnson and his ministers mislead parliament, it is just another blow to public confidence in the sinking of a government – those who mislead the public must be held accountable. “It’s clear that Mr Johnson has already lost the nation’s confidence. “Now the least we have to do is be able to be accountable for Trump’s behavior.” He said there should be “serious action to stop ministers from lying to the truth” and called for lawmakers to be allowed to point out where the prime minister has made “misleading statements” without the risk of being ousted by the Commons. . Former Tories minister says slander of Prime Minister Savile is “wrong” In February, Johnson made his first “clarification” in a separate process that included a written statement, claiming that Roman Abramovich was “facing sanctions” as part of a crackdown on Russian oligarchs at a point where they had not been punished. Among the prime minister’s false statements was his January 31 allegation that Sir Keir Starmer had “spent most of his time prosecuting journalists and failing to oust Jimmy Savile”, referring to the Labor leader’s previous role as director of public prosecution. The slander, which was later repeated by protesters who mobbed the Labor leader in Westminster, was not revoked by Mr Johnson despite Sir Kir not taking the decision on Saville. During the same parliamentary debate on January 31st, the prime minister claimed that the government had “reduced crime by 14 per cent”. He was reprimanded by Sir David Norgrove, president of the United Nations Statistics Office, who said the number was “only true if fraud and computer misuse are ruled out”, while the crime rate, including these charges, had risen by 14%. Other ministers who made false statements to parliament during the same period include Matt Hancock, then-Minister of Health, Pretty Patel, Attorney General Suela Braverman, and Culture Minister Nandin Doris. Dominique Greaves, a former Conservative MP who served as attorney general between 2010 and 2014, said: should be of great interest to all those who believe in the need for integrity from government. “It marks a significant departure from past practice and suggests a contempt for both good governance and the truth.” There are growing calls for changes that would force ministers to correct false statements – a process currently based on voluntary submission of letters to the Hansard parliamentary report. In the same period since the 2019 election, 75 ministerial corrections have been made by Hansard – but none by the prime minister.
