He didn't lie, he just failed to adhere in a traditional sense to a straightforward handling of the facts.

You could say he did lie but only in a specific and limited way

I see Truss was on the front of one of the papers this morning saying she wants to send more people to Rwanda, so that's probably the leadership stitched up for her.

What might not get reported as much is the Rwandan government saying they can only take 200. 120mill well spent.

I saw a few Tweets crunching the numbers that suggested that means the price per refugee would be more than if we paid them to go to Eton and then through university, which should play well with the people who definitely aren't racist but are just concerned about the economic impact of taking on refugees. 

Except it won't, because - to use a phrase that's been beaten to death through overuse on Twitter, but seems pertinent here - the cruelty is the point. A lot of these people would happily see their own quality of life diminished so long as they knew brown people were scared or suffering as a result.

That Tory cunt Starmer just sacked the shadow transport minister for joining the rail picket.

Aren’t they saying “Officially” it was for non authorised media appearances? Yeah, sure Kieth.

Even if true it seems proper harsh for a single infraction like that, definitely an excuse after he was probably pressured in to not telling them to not join the strikes this time.

Doesn't matter if it scores him points. Labour will be fucked without Union financing. If he pisses off Unison he'll not last long as leader, the party just can't afford to lose 5mill in Union money.
