Labour MP accused the prime minister of misleading the Commons and the country over coronavirus
The Labour MP Dawn Butler has been ejected from the Commons after saying Boris Johnson had lied repeatedly to fellow parliamentarians and the country, and then refusing to withdraw the remark.
“The prime minister has lied to this house time and time again,” Butler told the deputy Speaker, Judith Cummins. When asked to “reflect on her words”, Butler added: “It’s funny that we get in trouble in this place for calling out the lie, rather than the person lying.”
