    BBC News have just reported this major climb down, but called it a 'clarification', not a bare-faced lie.

    Uh oh.

    NEW: This is the cached version of the Foreign Office tweet which said that Porton Down definitively identified the source of novichok as Russia. Now seems to have been deleted. Not a good look.

    They deleted the tweet but left up the video of the Ambassador saying it.

    0:24
    The Foreign Office has deleted a tweet saying that Novichok was "produced in Russia". But on the same day as it tweeted that, the government, via its Ambassador, put out a video making the same claim—that it was "produced" in Russia. Not developed, not invented, but produced.

    7. Snootiness <- this. Always loved Beano, didn’t realise their political analysis was so on point too.

    It’s come to our readers attention that has been masquerading as Beano character Walter Brown. A clear breach of our copyright.

    I have been a newspaper journalist for almost 30 years. And I recognise where certain agendas are being followed. And some people might not like to hear it but the is absolutely following one now. Anyone who can’t see it is either deluded or agrees with it.

    In what other job would Boris Johnson not have been sacked or forced to resign by now? We have a weak Prime Minister who is allowing an awful Foreign Secretary to attempt to rewrite history as the Foreign Office simply deletes tweets that went out as official statements weeks ago

    This tweet has been deleted by the Foreign Office. Wonder how all those allies are feeling about taking Boris Johnson's advice at face value? This is hugely embarrassing for us. Mainly embarrassing for Johnson and our hapless Prime Minister, though.

    Weird framing in news report really highlighting how little we grasp about the causes of gender pay gaps: “Ryanair reports one of the largest pay gaps... but points out that pilots tend to be men while lower paid cabin staff are women”. Yes this is... exactly the point?

    This is a flat out lie from BBC News at Six. Jewdas has not argued there's no problem with antisemitism in Labour. It takes 1 minute to find that out. Come on , you had all day to research this, you've got massive resources. It's not plausible that this was a mistake.

    In what universe is the foreign secretary lying about government scientists' evidence—on an issue of global importance—LESS newsworthy than Jeremy Corbyn having a meal with local Jews? We've got him on video lying, look!

    Wonder if Jeremy Corbyn will receive any recognition for calling for measured heads and evidence. Actually why am I wondering? Of course he won't.

    Chief executive of Porton Down research laboratory has told Sky News scientists have not been able to prove the Novichok nerve agent used to poison Sergei and Yulia Skripal came from Russia or establish its country of origin

    We were aware of this 2 weeks ago, but "It is not our job to say where it was manufactured" is new. Boris Johnson claimed Porton Down told him the nerve agent was made in Russia, which is clearly not true. Are their no consequences for lying?
