Talk About Nerve.

I almost choked when I heard a journalist stating that it was time that they the journalists should begin outing liars, like the new PM...
What bloody arrogance, professional liars saying when they find a liar they should denounce them...

When they are proved to be liars journalists should be jailed.

I agree.  I also think that MPs who have demonstrably lied should be booted out of Westminster and a by-election held.  That way, we'd have a constantly changing government😉

[GrannyMac]

Yes to both.  

[Michael Rolls]

hear, hear

There's a fairly simple thing the MPs say which indicates that what they are about to add is, at best, only a fraction of the truth.  It is ..." the reality of the situation...", or similar 

[Dextrous63]

While I'm on my soap box, I also think that MPs should not be allowed to cross the floor.  IMHO, when people put their cross on a ballot paper, they're more than likely voting for a party and couldn't give two hoots who the actual candidate is.  So, if an MP wants to quit a party, or is sacked (or loses the whip), there should immediately be a by-election.  If the MP really is so popular as a person, then he/she/they🙄 will be elected as the candidate first whoever it is they've decided to join (or as an independent)

Agreed.
