Dishonest Video Shows Johnson’s Old Tactics Alive and Well

#BorisJohnsonLies & #NastyParty Falsify Videos

The dishonest Tory spin machine is already at full throttle. The party has doctored a video of Keir Starmer on Good Morning Britain seemingly unable to explain Labour’s Brexit policy.

The presenter Piers Morgan asks Labour’s Brexit spokesperson why the EU would “give you a good deal if they know you’re going to actively campaign against it”. Starmer blinks, licks his lips, and stares blankly at the camera. Then the video ends.

Except that’s not what happened.

Starmer answered immediately and fluently, rattling off information on the parameters for a possible Brexit deal.

The video is a shabby trick. Even Conservative MP #JohnnyMercer was upset after sharing it, saying the video had “inexplicably been doctored at the end”.

The Real Reason We Should Fear the Work of Dominic Cummings

The greatest electoral fraud in over 100 years.

The colourful tales about Cummings are all noise drowning the key fact about him, which should be front and centre in every report: that this is the man who – according to evidence published by the #ElectoralCommission – played a central role in a scheme that resulted in Vote Leave being judged to have broken the law. A scheme that constitutes the greatest electoral fraud perpetrated in Britain for more than a century – one that #Cummings has refused to come before parliament to answer questions about.

So that is where we are now: where the man advising the prime minister in parliament was previously judged to have been in contempt of that same parliament.

Lucas serves on the committee for the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, which wrote to Cummings once again last week to demand that he appear. Lucas describes the situation as insane:

“The people at the heart of #VoteLeave who cheated and broke the law are now running the country. And no one is interested. I’m staggered that as an MP, I feel powerless about it, and you as a journalist have been shouting about it and nobody is interested, not even the #BBC. Who never even covered this.”
