Meet Boris
Boris Johnson is a shameless liar and a charlatan.
While working for the Times, Boris Johnson was sacked for fabricating a quote. He then moved on to the Daily Telegraph, where he was responsible for creating many of the best known Euromyths, such as "bendy bananas".
He then became an MP, and lied about having an affair with a co-worker, leading to his being sacked from two ministerial roles.
His own lies as Prime Minister and those of his government include:
- Giving up drinking until Brexit is done
- Building 40 new hospitals and upgrading 20 more
- Putting record sums into the NHS
- Falsely claimed that Jeremy Corbyn would "whack corporation tax up to the highest in Europe"
- Changed the name of the official Conservative press office Twitter account to misrepresent it as "factcheckUK"
- Claimed that Labour's economic plans would wreck the economy and cost the country £1.2 trillion, with each household paying an extra £2.400 in taxes when they hadn't been published, let alone costed
- Claimed that Jeremy Corbyn "thinks home ownership is a bad idea and is opposed to it"
- Falsely claimed that delaying Brexit costs the country £1 billion a month
- Claimed to have never told a lie
- Contradicted both himself and his predecessor by claiming there was no evidence of Russian interference in elections

In addition, he's been known to offend the city of Liverpool, children of single mothers, black people, Muslims and gay men, and on one occasion, when asked to intervene in the case of a woman imprisoned in Iran, made comments that risked increasing her sentence.
Is this really a man you want running the country?
