I disagree that it's dishonest.

Repeatedly trapping a liar in their own lies is kinda the opposite.

New Does that work over there?
Over here each new release is just an opportunity to restate the original lies and have them parroted by the media.

New It's become a real problem over here, I think.
Lots of reporters on the Former Guy beat held on to important stuff until they were ready to release their books months or years after it would have had a policy impact. Woodward is the most egregious example. Maggie Haberman is another.

I fear that a big problem with the BoJo situation is that the power that be are going to spin this as a problem unique to him, rather than yet another example of how horrible the Tories as a whole are...

I hope Labour's current lead is enough to clean house soon (but my understanding is that elections are still years away unless something unexpected happens).

Good luck!

Cheers,
Scott.
