Telegraph issues correction over Boris Johnson's false UK economy claim

The Daily Telegraph has been forced to correct a column written by Boris Johnson, after he falsely claimed the UK is set to “become the largest and most prosperous economy in this hemisphere”.

Does Johnson ever tell the truth, seems not. One lie after another.

VeeCee30 Third correction this year in his then £275,000 a year salary. Say no more.

When does ‘false’ become a ‘lie’?

How does an incompetent person earn 275k for a column, makes several gross mistakes and keep his job Then becomes PM? Unbelievable while most other people do a great job and struggle on min wage !!!

Maybe they should make an effort to fact check Boris before they publish him. But then that would mean that the false messaging wouldn't get out. Its shocking just how corrupt the whole system is and how those in charge are not remotely accountable!

Did he tell lies again ? DitchJohnson DitchTheTories DitchBrexit

JoanaAMorais FFS if there's 'no such data existing' he hasn't 'misprepresented' or 'falsely claimed' anything. The bloody Prime Minister has sodding well lied to the British public again and the bloody media are still not calling him what he literally is. A bare faced liar. Do better

Anthony69398615 AGAIN!! Why does Telegraph continue to deploy LiarJohnson to publish his LIES and PROPAGANDA!! You might assume that owners of Telegraph condone conduct of LiarJohnson - for what agenda!?!

This needs more publicity.

peterjukes Johnson telling lies again! Sadly nobody will be shocked and his supporters will not care. Welcome to GB2019

BJ_Gardener Straight outta the Bannon play book lie big and keep lying - Trump follows the same mantra declaring the economyto be the best and biggest - niether boasts are true

I'm British but it is so obvious that we have the worst people in Europe. It's not just Brits abroad, the British are mainly violent drunk morons. If we strop immigration and are left with the average Brit we are screwed. Do people never go out?

StineOlsenActor 😮 many more retractions needed

We all know everytime Johnson opens his mouth lies come out but the Torygraph apologising...am I in TheMiliverse

Politicians and journalists do this all the time. Make the facts or lack thereof fit their personal proclivities. It's not really news is it? One man/woman's truth is anothers complete lie. I'd hardly call this news or a story. Let alone some revolutionary insight into a scandal

Boko making shit up again. What a surprise.

Does Johnson have a problem with combs?

Is this sour grapes from the Grauniad because they thought they were the Establishment propaganda machine?

Not surprised again.

BoJo is an enthusiastic energetic chappie. Over enthusiastic optimism is hardly a crime. With the German economy dipping into recession territory there's no saying if we don't catch Germany's cold that we could become economically more powerful. They might have to retract the

Why would you trust what he says about the economy when he can't even afford his own ditch?

He’s doing exactly the same as PM: the great Brexit deal,refused by both him and May but needed to try and circumvent Benn Act. A deal that will never be enacted. Johnson wanted to campaign on no deal but his MPs refused

WAIT.....do you mean he made stuff up and lied? That’s just SO out of character for him.

Sparsam mit der Wahrheit ...

Well did you ever Boris Johnson lied goodness did not see that coming 😂😂😂😂😂
