Labour has accused Boris Johnson of lying to MPs after he wrongly claimed Sir Keir Starmer had voted against a pay rise for NHS workers in England.

The party is calling on the PM to "correct the record" after he said Labour had voted against a 2.1% rise.

The 2.1% proposal - which has since been scrapped in favour of 1% - was approved without a vote in 2020.

Labour's shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth called on Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle to "get the prime minister to return to the House and correct the record".

Mr Ashworth said: "The Prime Minister has twice, from that dispatch box, said that the Labour opposition voted against the NHS Funding Bill and the 2.1% increase for NHS staff. This is not the case."

BJ tries to Trump Sir Keir but gets exposed .....

After reading the title of this thread I thought this must be an Omah thread.....

I just don't understand why he does it. It's so utterly pointless.

He's been around here seven years, he is entitled (and earned) his style.

Oh! don't misunderstand me, It wasn't a criticism, It takes all kinds of interesting people to make a good forum. Just like the ingredients of a cake.....I would miss him if he wasn't here....
Sorry I digress.....Boris does his best I'm sure....

Labour are irrelevant. They are useless in opposition with no leadership and unelectable thanks to the beard.

Boris can say what he likes he is going up in the polls with an 80 seat majority.
