IAN LAVERY MP says an immediate focus on raising wages and reducing costs must be part of a strategy to show Labour can deliver for workers again
ISN’T it worrying when a British prime minister can stand up in Parliament, lie, and not only go unchallenged by any MP in the House, but moreover is cheered for the lie that is spun as fact?
During Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday May 9, in a response to a question on the “Troubles investigation” Theresa May stated: “The only people being investigated are those that served in armed forces or law enforcement.”
This of course was a blatant lie. Currently, there are approximately 570 terrorist cases under investigation, yet not one MP challenged the Prime Minister on this.
