Notes:

When Peter Oborne wrote 'The Rise of Political Lying', looking at the growth of political falsehood during the governments of John Major and Tony Blair, he believed things had got as bad as they could be. But then on 23rd July 2019, with the arrival of Boris Johnson at No 10, began a new and unprecedented epidemic of deceit. In 'The Assault on Truth', a short and powerful new polemic, Oborne shows how Boris Johnson lied again and again in order to secure victory so he could force through Brexit in the face of parliamentary opposition.
