Boris Johnson must resign if he lied over ‘bodies pile high’ comment, Starmer says

Boris Johnson has been warned he will have to quit if it is shown he has lied in denying he said “let the bodies pile high” – after repeating the denial in the Commons chamber.

Asked if he had uttered the explosive remark – in raging about another lockdown last October – the prime minister told MPs: “No.”

Keir Starmer told him that any minister misleading Parliament was “expected to offer their resignation”, saying: “Somebody here isn’t telling the truth.”

In a torrid prime minister’s questions for the prime minister – minutes after a formal investigation was launched into his flat makeover – he was accused of being “mired in sleaze, cronyism and scandal.”

He is just appalling

"I'll leave it there...for now"

Savage Starmer!

[alibarber]

Same for Starmer then, remember he said he didn't want us to remain in the European procurement program when clearly he had. So lead by example resign first being as you mislead parliament first.

This leaves the conspiracy theorists in a bit of trouble, doesn’t it?? That remark would suggest he DIDNT want lockdowns, and doesn’t want a ridiculous takeover of all our freedoms, which is the far fetched crap they propose! They can’t say the remark was a lie, because that would mean then trusting him!! Tricky situation, isn’t it? That’s possibly why they aren’t here

[catmeow]

I agree! It was so terrible he had said a lot of bad comments. I don't think Johnson is a good PM. 🤮

[joshuax]

he was Crown Procecuter, Sir Keir...and he should get back to work with you, PM

[colincarr]

Of course he did. The prat should resign.

[colinwhite]

Can you imagine Johnson ever saying such a thing? There’s your answer.

[RedRaptor]

Vote Starmer! Johnson’s had his chance it’s time for new leadership

[margaritaagatone]

Boris is responsible for everything! he wanted to be a minister, therefore he has to obey the rules, like everybody else!

[samwright]

lying machine, no honour just greedy, ego

[chips]

Sir Liar didn't resign, why not?

[jamesbagshaw]

The trouble with Boris is other people remember what he says and he doesn't, just says whatever sounds right in his head at the time

[RandleMcMurphey]

let yourself down, when you mentioned a tabloid newspaper!....but i am with you on this one....A lier will Always answer a Question with a statement or a not an Answer!.

[petercolledge]

"I'm given to understand"...Starmer was the head of the CPS for many years. If people are prepared to put this remark in law, and they are, then where do we look?

[sinraptor]

How can you tell when a politician is lying ?

Keir Starmer must resign for being so useless during the pandemic then focusing on wallpaper while half the country are wondering how to pay the bills.
