Labour leader lies

Just this, really.

Labour’s leader has lied on national television about his involvement with terrorist-linked organisations. If it were a normal political party and had not become a strange personality cult, its leader would have already been pressured to resign. Discuss.

We might also add that, in an unprecedented development, Labour’s press office has also lied about this. As an ex-staffer, I can say that I have never before experienced any other example of the latter happening in my life, and I am deeply ashamed.

Sad to say, though, Corbyn himself does have previous: I have just remembered him telling these three lies in short order to Andrew Marr in February.
