When this topic was aired with the Prime minister on Question Time last night David Dimbleby asked him whether this was the first that he had heard of the problem. He replied that it was.

This evening on channel 4 News, they presented a report which revealed that the NHS issued a memo in June of last year criticising the 48 hour target and saying that it was being used to manipulate figures. And then...they also mentioned a letter written by Tony Blair, in October last year, warning that the misuse of the 48 hour target was becoming a problem that the government would have to deal with.

And yet, last night he claimed that he had not heard of the problem before.

WHAT A BARE-FACED LIE!

He was also asked a point blank question about a new rise in NI contributions after the election - he didn't say yes, he didn't say no, he changed the subject!

A vote for Labour is now plainly a vote for liars.
