A ban on politicians lying will be brought in before the 2026 Senedd [the Welsh parliament] elections, the Welsh government has promised.
Counsel General Mick Antoniw [...] promised that the law would disqualify Senedd politicians and candidates found guilty of deliberate deception from being a Member of the Senedd (MS).
[...]
It is not yet clear whether the proposed law would make lying a criminal offence or a civil sanction.
[...]
Mr. Antoniw said it was a "matter that goes to the heart of everyone".
A law like that would've been incredibly helpful back when those Brexit buses were claiming to somehow give the NHS £350M a week, most of which technically never even existed in the first place (as we got back something like 200M a week).
Having Farage, Boris, and their cronies be forced to resign (or even face prison) would've been a damn delight.
