Punish MP's and other important political figures for using fake statistics

Petition Details

In light of the recent resurgence of Boris Johnson's false claim that the NHS will receive £350 million a week, it's time that there should be a system to punish MP's and other important political figures that use fake figures and statistics to try and persuade members of the public to their side.
