"UK lawmakers were thrown out of the parliament on Monday for breaking protocol - by calling UK PM Sir Keir Starmer a 'liar' - during a furious session of the House of Commons. Speaker Lindsay Hoyle ordered Reform UK's Lee Anderson out for saying Starmer had 'been lying ' and 'that man can't lie straight in bed'. He did the same to independent Zahra Sultana who said the PM had been 'gaslighting the nation'. "So let's call this out for what it is. The Prime Minister is a bare-faced liar," she added before being told to leave under the archaic rule of the House. Starmer also denied 'inadvertently' misleading the parliament over the vetting row surrounding his former US ambassador Lord Mandelson. Earlier, the PM was jeered by lawmakers after saying they might find his side of the ongoing row 'unbelievable'. "I know many Members across the House will find these facts to be incredible. To that I can only say they are right," he said, to laughter around the House. Ahead of the session, the Commons Speaker warned MPs not to accuse anyone of 'lying' - as it would be against the rules of the House of Commons. The PM is under huge pressure to quit following damning revelations about the appointment of his former US ambassador - after Mandelson's links to the late paedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein came back into the spotlight. Last week, it emerged that the Mandelson failed security vetting - but that it was overridden by the foreign office. The PM has claimed he was not aware of that until last week. Starmer fired foreign office chief Sir Olly Robbins on Thursday, saying he had committed an 'unforgivable error' in not telling him. Robbins said he was following the law and is set to speak to MPs later this week. The Mandelson row returned following the publication of many more documents from the 'Epstein files' by the US Department of Justice. The former ambassador has strongly denied wrongdoing. Starmer claimed he had been lied to and has repeatedly said he wouldn't have appointed him had he known the full story."
