List of post Brexit Falsehoods from Conservative Party - Accountability from 1st Jan 2021

1st Jan 2021

Tampon Tax - the Conservatives voted against it in 2015 

Pulse Fishing - it turns out the other EU states had already banned this .. 
 In reply to.... David Jones @DavidJonesMP Excellent that @DefraGovUK has banned pulse fishing in UK waters from 11:00 pm yesterday. A good example of the environmental, conservation and welfare improvements we can make after leaving the EU. Now let’s stop live animal exports.

  • What you mean is your having to REINTRODUCE the ban cos bungling . @BorisJohnson forgot to include it in the #ovenreadydeal he didn’t have 
  •  When MPs and members of government lie they discredit our very system of democracy. You must realise the consequences of that? 
  •  You do know that it has been banned in the EU for many years but with exceptions and that in 2019 EU removed exceptions, to be implemented soon.
  • Because now we are out of the EU the EU ban on pulse fishing doesn't apply any more. 
  •  Please don't think we can't spot your lies. 
  •  @DefraGovUK @marinescotland has been cracking down on pulse fishing for years. What’s been stopping you? Certainly not the EU! More Tory lies. 
  • It’s only 11am and I’ve already seen lies from you, Bridgen, Bone and Redwood! 
  • We didn’t need to leave the EU to ban pulse fishing. The EU voted to ban it completely in 2019 and ahead of that the French have already banned it in their waters. France outlaws pulse fishing ahead of EU-wide ban France's agriculture ministry said Wednesday that it had officially banned electric pulse fishing from its territorial waters, ahead of a total ban of the contested practice in the European Union set... a lie again.

  • I am Dutch and sick and tired of all those lies by UK politicians. Every word a UK politician speak is a lie or an insult. Your tweets are not only red by the UK people who are used to be lied to by their politicians and their tabloids but also by us. What a shit
  • sofia @SLarches Why didn’t you ban it before like other EU states. Or did you save this till later to try and con ppl of a benefit of Brexit. Utter frauds
