The Labour MP Dawn Butler was absolutely correct to call Boris Johnson a liar in the Commons, Keir Starmer has said, saying the prime minister was “the master of untruth and half-truths”. Butler was ejected from the chamber on Friday when she said Johnson had lied repeatedly to fellow parliamentarians and the country, and refused to withdraw the remark. I have been thrown out of Parliament for saying what we all know: Boris Johnson has lied to the House of Commons and the country over and over again. But I’ve got news for the Tories, I will never stop speaking truth to power! pic.twitter.com/JtBdhOSXuY…
