Wondering

[weecalf]

are There any rules against lying in parliament ?

[lankeela]

They have to. Its the law.

[weecalf]

What lie ?

[alavahalf]

Since they stopped removing their heads.. lying is no big issue!

[weecalf]

So we can’t be sure of anything said in the house then .

[chelle7272]

I would never have assumed we could

[weecalf]

look at whats being said here . Lying is the norm in parliament is that so ?

[aelmpvw]

it only happens when their lips move

[chelle7272]

Never met an honest politician

[royfromaus]

I don't think so.
Here's a chap clearly lying about seeking compromise. Apparently you just get laughed at for lying.

MP (thundering about something or other): "Are we going to take this lying down?"

Another MP: "No, the man from Hansard's doing that."

In fact MPs are not allowed to call each other liars in the Commons.

[jno]

oh, apparently that last sentence is no longer true.

Jacob Reece-Mogg is excellent at lying. There are several photos of him reclining ;o)

If you cannot lie, you cannot be an MP!

[weecalf]

So Boris is gonna address the nation tonight as he has done in the past . So will he be telling lies tonight ?

No one lies in Parliament they are all economical with the truth.
