Boris Johnson has been ticked off for misleading Parliament on jobs and on crime.

He claimed that the number of people in employment has been rising - when it鈥檚 been falling. And he made a claim that crime has fallen - when it鈥檚 risen. We discuss the truth, and what Parliament can do to defend it.
