Boris Johnson admits he's repeatedly given false jobs information to Parliament

Boris Johnson today admitted he has repeatedly used a false figure about jobs in Parliament.

The Prime Minister finally accepted a correction from the UK Statistics Authority, after he claimed over and over that more people are in jobs than before the pandemic - even after he was told it was wrong.
