Press secretary Allegra Stratton repeatedly declines to accept Boris Johnson made incorrect statement
Boris Johnson’s press secretary has repeatedly refused to acknowledge that the prime minister was mistaken when he incorrectly said Labour had voted against an NHS pay deal, indicating that Johnson does not feel the need to correct the record.
Asked about Johnson’s incorrect assertion at prime minister’s questions on Wednesday that Keir Starmer and his party had blocked an NHS budget bill, Allegra Stratton declined 12 times to accept he had been wrong.
