Keir Starmer

To be fair, it was pretty clearly a misunderstanding rather than a lie as such.

The issue now is more the EMA have been politicised in all of this. Supporting remaining a member of them and at the same time advocating our vaccine rollout strategy isn’t the contradictory position Johnson was pushing it was. It’ll stick even more now though so it was a real gaffe from Starmer.

Was it? Saying he 'Misheard' is very Dianne Abbott, and we're talking about quotes he made in parliament over a number of occasions, and the EMA is an EU body. He was championing it, and wanted us in it, after we've left the EU, similar to staying in the CU, or SM, in other words, embrace the EU's methods.
Supporting the UK vaccine programme was something he had to do, as the
govt had ensured the supply, but left to the likes of him, we'd still be faffing around. The bloke is a grey, boring character that's not exactly set the world on fire,
and his frankly pathetic shiny new patriotic face isn't going to mask the fact that he's a rabid europhile, who holds the exact opposite views to those he's trying to recapture.

Given his reaction to what he thought Johnson was saying, I’d say it very clearly was as if it wasn’t, that’s suspending reality and thinking he’s suddenly turned into a complete moron.

I support EMA membership, it’s not contradictory to also supporting our vaccine rollout or approach. Johnson’s pushing a false narrative that had we still been members of the EMA we’d still be at the starting blocks and it’s working.

I’ve asked this before but does anyone else think he may have a drink problem? He looks very rough at times.

Has a similar complexion to GPC

Lol, saw this yesterday, Boris accusing Max Headroom of championing
the EMA, and the fact that he's done this 4 times, and it's all on record.
Cue, stammering Starmer saying he said no such thing, ie; lying through
his back teeth, and a grovelling apology later.
This bloke. supposedly a lawyer, is obviously a shit one too, if you're
going to tell lies, you need a very good memory, and even then the truth eventually comes out.

I don’t really know the context to this but seems he made an error, acknowledged it and apologised. Should have just doubled down on the lie like the **** opposite him

What did you think Johnson was saying?

What was the error?

I don’t know, I’ve not read up. What was the lie? I only posted so I could have a cheap and predictable jibe at Johnson

It sounded as though Johnson's reference to advocating being in the EMA was referring to something in connection with Covid, and Starmer reacted to that.

Referring back to something said in 2017 in the same sentence as referring to vaccination now is a bit of a stretch.
