The Tories being deceitful on social media?!

FactCheck UK is gonna want a word with-- oh, wait.

[dplonker]

At this rate there's gonna be a weirdly defensive response to THIS video.

[AquilaSierra]

Hats off to TLDR News for calling an objectively provable lie a "lie" instead of trying to pander to everybody.

You wanted a blonde bombastic liar, you got a blonde bombastic liar.

Man there should be laws holding politicians accountable to the truth.

[ryanratchford]

Not the first time Johnson’s been caught lying to the public.

[Octoploppy]

Don't worry guys, we've only got this government for another 4 years.

[noone-qgod]

Looks like we've been learning from trump, just what we need. 🤦

[jacob]

Are we going to see the government raging against this video

[jonhouse]

Great.... Our government is following another Trumpism. *Facepalm

[iwantsomecookies]

By "scientific advice", they mean asking Dominic Cummings, right?

[joynalmiah]

3:15 not allowing press because of negative articles. That's not pretty that's dangerous.

UK government twitter buble, sound like the first level of hell.

[LuxurioMusic]

I wasn't aware of the government's twitter replies or blog posts at all. To me it's setting an incredibly worrying precedent but I'm not surprised in the slightest considering how they've acted before.

I think it's very important to bring stories like these. As someone who considers himself quite politically versed, I often disagree with certain depictions on this channel, but i want to thank you very much for making this video, which I really enjoyed watching.

[gog]

Incompetence of the highest degree. Lying at a time like this to cover their backs as over 30, 000 lay dead.

[bocbinsgames]

Totally slipped under the radar lol. When I saw this video I went "wait what?"

[kieranmurphy]

Thanks for highlighting this to the general public. This has a striking resemblance to our friends “across the pond”.
