He's been lying about a great many things
@DarkFire515

Not surprised by any of this – typical conservative dishonesty.

18:02 Degrees are difference my arse. Starmer's curry was within the rules as this was a legitimate work event – this is what the police said. Not that it was a bit naughty – "no case to answer".
Are you liars or just thick?

Conservatives literally must lie as they rerpesent a small group of wealthy indiviuals and their intertests at the expense of the rest of the population
@Cornz38
January 10, 2024 at 9:47 am
Its EASY to tell if Sunak is lying. If his lips move and words come out of his mouth then he's lying.

Is he a politician? Do his lips move? Well, there is your answer.

The true danger of this Tory party is they cannot be trusted on anything. This is unique. While spin has always existed, one has never had to go through every communication line-by-line. Never has "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance" been more true

In one of your recent videos the figures suggested I'm a high earner and I'm happy paying more tax. The wealthy (which I certainly don't feel like) should pay more tax to help people from lower income jobs.

Has Sunak being lying?! No!!! He couldn't possibly be a serial liar! After all he said his government would rule with integrity. That couldn't have been a lie as well!!

Huh. Thanks, Ben, I was totally ignorant of that underreported story and it's pretty interesting. Have a 🍪 and a 😘
E2A: Two big laughs later as well, with the Fumio Kishida incident and Zac's sort of, but not actually headlessness. Props to the vid editor for that one. 👍
