The Take with Sophy Ridge: 'We can't function as a country if PM doesn't tell the truth' - Labour

Labour's Lisa Nandy has told Sky News that Boris Johnson should resign over partygate as the country "cannot function" if the Prime Minister is "not telling the truth".

For it to even make any difference THE MEDIA WOULD HAVE TO TELL US THE TRUTH.
Rather than market the political talking points of their corporate masters.

Labour talking about truth 😂

Self awareness seems to be so rare these days.

We can’t function as a country with toffs at the top, we need hardworking people who have lived in the real world who haves balls and common sense.

What she should've said was 'We can't function as a country if the MEDIA doesn't tell the truth'

[colinthompson]

I wish Lisa Nandy was allowed to complete an answer.

[bryngerard]

We always function with the PM not telling the truth. When then did she ever tell the truth? Any of them?

[Suzi.M]

We’ll never be “all in it there are different levels of awareness in 😎🥰🌍

[acthompson]

how different from when a Tory minister is interviewed. Nandy given a free and unchallenged platfrom to give a Labour monologue on every question

[davidmccann]

We haven't had a PM that tells the truth in the 21st century.

[robmoon]

It’s simple…. I like Lisa Nandy and how she’s communicates. May she flourish.

A politician lying, shock horror. Being a successful politician isn't about having the best policies, but who can tell the most convincing lies. Boris just isn't a very good liar

[DoneDunning]

Boris hasn't smothered himself in roses to be fair.

*IN A COUNTRY WITH NO WRITTEN CONSTITUTION* that relies on the "good chap" principle it is a literal constitutional crisis when the guy at the top is proven to be a criminal, a liar, a law breaker and anything BUT a "good chap"

This is not about cake or parties, this is about the FUNCTIONING OF THE GOVERNMENT. What happens when Bojo employs a private security firm to detain journalists and instructs the Met Police not to investigate???

There either IS accountability or there is NOT accountability - its not a grey area

[MrManny]

The problem with politicians is they never tell the people what power they possess over them like they can force a by-election anytime they want, people complain, but never use their power they can even force a by-election against the PM and force him to resign,

[georgemorrison]

We are being lectured by Lisa Nandy ……God how far we have fallen.

[stuartgooding]

🤣🤣🤣 really ..how have we functioned for the last 600 years !! ...lieing is there job !!!

[Flyinspaghetti]

Since when have Liebour ever told the truth?

[dragonfly]

Well if Liebour get in "The Unions" will be having a field day and the UK will be on strike alert and will definitely not be functioning.

[edgarstaskans]

They never have told truth, but now they are mocking us as well.

[musaxcoco]

Labour is just upset they were not invited to the parties 😂🤣
