According to Labour, the party of the Boris Johnson has tried to distract the media when Conservative sources claimed an adviser to the Health Secretary was hit by a Labour protester at Leeds General infirmary on Monday.
Columnists had said Tory sources disclosed to them they accepted a protestor had smacked the counselor in the face in an episode which came during a battle visit. In any case, video later shared via web-based networking media seemed to show the counselor strolling into the demonstrator’s arm as he was pointing.
The claims sparked a huge backlash, with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn accusing Tories of “inventing fake stories to distract people” from a storm over a shortage of beds at the hospital.
“The Tories are so desperate to distract from a four-year-old boy sleeping on a hospital floor because of their cuts to the NHS that, once again, they have resorted to barefaced lying,” said a Labour spokesperson and also added, “This is a new low and the Conservative party has serious questions to answer.”
