Tories accused of lying to distract from photo of boy on hospital floor
Labour goes on offensive after Conservatives wrongly allege assault by activist on health secretary’s aide
Labour has accused Boris Johnson’s campaign of “lying and cheating” to try to distract attention from the prime minister’s insensitive reaction to a sick four-year-old boy forced to sleep on a hospital floor.
With just days to go until polling day, the Tories suffered one of their worst days of the campaign as Johnson refused on camera to look at a picture of the poorly child and pocketed the phone of the reporter who tried to show it to him.
