Watch: Johnson’s grovelling apology in response to by-election results is debunked

"Stop lying Boris. It’s becoming embarrassing now," said one person after watching the clip.

The Conservative Party cannot continue as if it is “business as usual” following two by-election losses, a Scottish Tory MP has said.

However, Boris Johnson has said he will “keep going” after his authority was dealt a series of blows by a double by-election defeat which triggered the resignation of a Cabinet minister.

But his grovelling apology has been debunked in a new video by Peter Stefanovic.

The Liberal Democrats overturned a significant Conservative majority to win the Tiverton and Honiton seat in Devon, while Labour retook Wakefield in West Yorkshire.

Speaking to broadcasters, Mr Johnson said he would take responsibility, but insisted the cost-of-living crisis was the most important issue for voters and it is “true that, in mid-term, governments post-war lose by-elections

Tough time

“It’s absolutely true we’ve had some tough by-election results. They’ve been, I think, a reflection of a lot of things, but we’ve got to recognise voters are going through a tough time at the moment,” he said at the conference centre in Kigali.

“I think as a Government I’ve got to listen to what people are saying – in particular to the difficulties people are facing over the cost of living, which I think for most people is the number one issue.

“We’ve got to recognise there is more we’ve got to do and we certainly will; we will keep going, addressing the concerns of people until we get through this patch.”

Peter Stefanovic has pulled his apology apart and shared his video on social media.

He also wrote: “Jeez. The Prime Minister’s insanely bull**** response to the by-election results even included repeating the lie – for which he’s been rebuked 3 times by the statistics watchdog – that more people are now in work than before the pandemic! Watch in disbelief.”

There was a lot of praise for the video:

1.

If it wasn’t for the unbelievable hardships the majority of this country are presently suffering, I’d be delighted that the Liar-in-Chief isn’t getting the message from these two by-election defeats.
The longer he stays, the harder the kicking his party will get at the next GE! https://t.co/LbGHDkgRyp

As soon as I listen to YOUR explanation, I just relish in the facts you have assembled. Boris is an absolute joke. The current Gov’ is pathetic and WE (the 🇬🇧 CashCows) get truly ripped off. ✊🏻 keep up the fantastic work ✊🏻 https://t.co/w1CRV00ap8

There is something seriously, pathologically wrong with the PM. He's a liar who believes every word he says. The law of diminishing returns is now starting to have an impact. https://t.co/meBQkB2oMv

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
