‘Boris the liar’ trends as Dawn Butler says ‘enough is enough’

"There's something broken in a system that punishes someone for calling out lies and protects someone else for repeatedly lying," Tommy Corbyn said.

‘Boris the liar’ has been trending on Twitter after Dawn Butler was ejected from the House of Commons yesterday evening.

The Labour MP was ordered to leave by temporary deputy speaker Judith Cummins after refusing to withdraw claims that Boris Johnson has “lied to the House and the country over and over again”.

Ms Butler had said: “Poor people in our country have paid with their lives because the Prime Minister has spent the last 18 months misleading this House and the country over and over again.”

She highlighted disputed claims made by the Prime Minister, including that the link between Covid-19 infection and serious disease and death had been severed.

“It’s dangerous to lie in a pandemic”

She added: “It’s dangerous to lie in a pandemic.

“I am disappointed the Prime Minister has not come to the House to correct the record and correct the fact that he has lied to the House and the country over and over again.”

Ms Cummins intervened and said: “Order! Order! I’m sure that the member will reflect on her words she’s saying and perhaps correct the record.”

Ms Butler replied: “What would you rather – a weakened leg or a severed leg?

“At the end of the day the Prime Minister has lied to this House time and time again.

Earlier after I called Boris Johnson a liar I was thrown out of Parliament immediately.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

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.
