And also claimed VAT adjustments and removals weren't possible before Brexit, this again is incorrect.
Quote:Things you disagree with or and inconvenient to an argument you agree with are not "misinformation" or "incorrect"He gave misinformation to support his argument, as he has done on previous occasions that I've seen him on the BBC (unfortunately the episodes of Politics Live have expired on iPlayer). That's not me pointing out something inconvenient to anything I agree with, that's him using misinformation to support his own argument.
Not going of stray into the politics of it other that to correct the misinformation you give on the presenter on the channel.
Given the AZ covid jab wasn't approved by EU for some time after, its true to claim it was made faster by using a single regulator process. Fact checkers support that.
VAT us also a true statement, once a tax is aligned I'm rate its hard to make an exception as it triggers 'state aid' rules to the sector in question. As always these things are complex which is why you can hold two opinions in good faith depending how you weight the facts - the very basis on legal arguments and out judiciary. It's wrong to claim the opposing side is 'misinformation' its a Marxist tactic to diminish opposition and has no place in a democracy
