Wales Gets Closer to Banning Lying by Politicians – and Now Keir Starmer is Being Urged to Follow Suit

Consultation closes on proposed law that could see politicians disqualified for deliberately misleading public

Banning lying sounds wonderful until you realise that lawyers will make a lot of money arguing whether a lie was intentional or not.

Nope. But also no Keir Starmer.

Good point...... One or two from other parties might also fall victim to this.... Just saying....

If lying politicians were banned Westminster would be almost empty.

Politicians don't, generally, lie. They just don't tell the truth.

Define lying.

I refute that all conservative politicians are liars, but they'd certainly be left with about 12 mps and a ventriloquist dummy.

I wonder who adjudicates?
