There needs to be direct sanctions for MPs lying too, both in interviews and social media, especially when it's a blatant lie.
10% of months salary fine, can be reduced to 5% if the lie is admitted within 1 week, and not just an 'I got it wrong' it has to be an 'I lied and knew it' statement.
Allow them 24hrs grace to make a public unprovoked "Oh, sh*t, I got it wrong. Very sorry" retraction for the cases where they really DO make an accident.
When they get back to the office someone will tell them if they had made a mistake or mixed something up.
Not reduced for early payment (take it direct from salary) but for admitting the lie.
It should also double for each subsequent lie, hit the fuckers where it hurts.
mp's shouldn't open their mouths unless they know for certain what they are talking about,look at helen whately quoting how the tories had reduced debt...800billion to 2.6 trillion.

It amazes me how some of these MPs manage to talk and breathe at the same time.
