Despite efforts from the hard-right to seed the idea that lying is consequence-free, it is now obvious that this could not be further from the truth

IrvineWelsh rachshabi Lying is not against the law. This corrosive mantra has woven itself into the fabric of our public sector. Changing that culture will take a mammoth effort. Lying has been partnered with the erosion of accountability. With ethics abandoned our society is slowly rotting.

rachshabi Says it all that the only piece of government messaging that they all sing clearly on without a stutter is the shameless support for the senior advisor to the PM. This government is clearly NotGoodEnough

rachshabi Still Prime Minister.

rachshabi In that case the Toilet Roll went over the 'EDGE' months ago.

rachshabi I would suggest BorisJohnson has lost control of the pandemic and all credibility by more than one lie. Cummings aside, the plethora of poor decisions and untruths had led to a situation where all credibility and trust in his leadership has evaporated.

rachshabi I like the 'Blundering government' but as we all know its DC thats in charge and it warrants a few wise words in german Arschloch Kleiderbügel and ol'Shirly J can SHOVE IT

rachshabi Filthy horrible rag. Part of the ScumMedia We will bankrupt the worst offenders.

rachshabi Incessant biased and fake news by the MSM has cause more damage to the UK than any government action.

rachshabi Habitual liar. Wouldn’t know the truth if it hit him in the face!!! When will the lying stop? It is criminal!

rachshabi C - Cummings O - On V - Vacation I - In D - Durham 19 times!

rachshabi Yep one person namely cummings and 10DowningStreet have alienated the public. The constant lies and goverment ministers floundering during interviews have made a mockery of lockdown. The only credible person willing to speak up was ProfessorJonathanVanTam

rachshabi Are the Brits going to wake up and finally get their country back on track? Or is it too late? Honestly curious.

What an incredibly stupid statement to make, presumably with a mind full of bias and hindsight and utterly self blinkered to the amazingly selfish decisions by Labour politicians and SNP too among others in breaking lockdown rules, how much public trust have they generated ?

No, don’t think that’s the case. I suppose it depends on what public you ask. Am I to assume that most of the comments here are from people who initially had trust in the Government?

The UK government got stripped already by its ignorant PM. nuffSaid

Johnson has never had my trust.

Entirely.....adverb ..completely (often used for emphasis). You don't appear to have used the correct word. And you portray yourselves as journalists.

One lie too many, and more to come

B 🇬🇧O 🇬🇧R 🇬🇧I 🇬🇧S 🇬🇧Best Prime Minister 🇬🇧

MSM are the true crooks and liars

Still better than Labour.

The most amusing thing to watch is the government acting as if they actually are trusted. 🤪

Fact:

What Boris' weakness and inaction have highlighted..

Cummings was juggling a lot of stuff and came up with a reasonable solution that did bend the rules. God gave us brains to figure out complex things for the best and not just blindly follow a rule and regret in the end.

I trust Boris more than any other leader. I trust his government more than any of the devolved nations. Let’s face it, they’re all just coping him. Why is there no outcry about Sturgeons lies regarding the Nike incident or the disgusting way she handled Covid in care homes?

angelaeagle Sadly, for me, it wasn't the last straw. We had a Tory at the door before the last election and I sent him packing, telling him that as far as I was aware I'd never heard Boris say a single true thing, and I didn't expect him to start any time soon. Boris lies while people die...

The media story so far.. Whip up a frenzy on man with lies, smear and conjection. Conduct a push-poll to confirm frenzy. State that man must go based on result of poll. Get annoyed that man does not resign or is fired. Go back to stage 1 and repeat.

peterjukes UK cabinet

What a screwed up socialist article.

Ovine adherents to the personality cult will doubt contest this.

I am remembering the old UK governments and their lies too... So people didn't shock I assume...

Legal ousting of this govt.? Anyone, Bueller?!

He's an absolute scumbag.

We now have no priminister, we have an empty shell of a figurehead with less power than a constitutional monarch

I trust Boris more than any labour MP put together

'opinion' we all got em

Hire a clown, expect a circus.

I hope EU know he is an untrustworthy liar

I wouldn't trust them to run a bath.
