For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.the prospect that a minister has been lying in parliament is a serious one; I don't know why it should just be ignored because you don't like the messenger, newmodarmy.

Personally, I can't think what Badenoch was up to. Staunton said he'd taken notes; she should have been very sure indeed of her grounds before calling him a liar. After all, it's not even her own name she was defending, she wasn't in the job at the time, so she could just have kept her mouth shut.
That lefty 5C outfit (The Financial Times) has something to say on the subject of Canadian trade talks (that don’t exist).

'She is also facing questions over her role as Equalities Minister after former Labour cabinet minister Ben Bradshaw cast doubts over claims about meeting LGBT groups.
Mr Bradshaw said: “In December, the Cabinet Minister for Equalities told this House that she had engaged, and I quote, ‘extensively’ with LGBT organisations since her appointment 18 months ago.
“A Freedom of Information answer published this week reveals that in fact the minister hasn’t met a single LGBT organisation, but has met two fringe groups that actively campaign against transgender rights. What is the problem the Prime Minister, and a section of his party, have with trans people, and his Equalities Minister has with the truth?”'
