Politicians tell "brazen lies", senior Lib Dem Sir Malcolm Bruce has claimed as he defended the actions of ex-Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael.

Mr Carmichael is facing calls to resign after admitting he backed the leaking of a memo during the election campaign incorrectly suggesting Nicola Sturgeon wanted David Cameron as prime minister.

The MP for Orkney and Shetland said previously he had not been aware of it.

Sir Malcolm said the MP had been wrong but lying was common in public life.

The SNP have called on Mr Carmichael - the only remaining Lib Dem MP in Scotland - to consider his position after an official Cabinet Office inquiry found he approved the leak of an official memo by his special adviser to a newspaper during the campaign.

The document, written by a civil servant in the Scotland Office, claimed the Scottish First Minister told the French Ambassador to the UK that she would prefer Mr Cameron as prime minister rather than Ed Miliband - comments Ms Sturgeon has always insisted she never made.


we all know its true, but how is this allowed
if anyone that worked for me told a "brazen lie" I would have no problem sacking them on the spot

surely there must be a way to hold these people to account
after all they are supposed to be working for us
and don't say "Vote them out" as that can take up to 5 years

It's repugnant and offensive, but in a free political system we have to tolerate even destructive, divisive parties like the SNP.

Who'd have thunk it? Rolling Eyes

How do you think they get elected in the first place?
If its lips are moving it's lying, is the default starting point for every politician, surely?

OP has had a brain fart and reverted to gullibility mode!
Pull yourself together!

yes this was a bit tongue in cheek, but when they come out and admit it
you wonder how gullible the general public are when they listen to these people

I fully support your view if their lips are moving its a lie Thumbs Up
