Conservative Bolton Council leader David Greenhalgh has accused Labour leader Kier Starmer of misqoting him during prime Minister’s Question Time today.
During the exchanges between Sir Kier Starmer and Boris Johnson, the Labour leader said that “he probably hasn’t noticed that this morning, the council leaders in Greater Manchester that he’s just quoted, including the mayor and including the Conservative leader of Bolton council, have said in a press statement that they support a circuit-break above tier 3 restrictions. Keep up Prime Minister.”
However Bolton’s leader said that he did not sign the statement pointing out that he is not in support of a circuit breaker at this time and that every Greater Manchester leader knows his position.The document, he said was amended to state that a number of leaders were in favour of a circuit breaker and is asking for an apology
