"Mine is not 'just my opinion'.
Rachel Reeves has been clearly shown to have lied on her c.v. and in her electoral statements.
Ex-Deputy leader, Rayner was avoiding tax, by lying.
Starmer assured Parliament that due process had been followed in appointing Mandelson (although he now says that during that due process he was happy to rely on lies from Mandelson).
Mandelson? Well, even the 'current' PM says he's a liar . . ."

I don't think you will many in the ranks of Labour supporters who would try and justify the actions of the individuals you mention Nigel.

However when similar accusations where levelled at members of conservative governments hordes of you fellow conservatives sought to justify their actions.
