David Cameron's three "lies" in just 30 minutes at Prime Minster's questions

David Cameron was accused of "playing fast and loose with the truth" yesterday 
after he was caught out misleading MPs THREE times.

He told all three whoppers in the space of just 30 minutes during Prime 
Minister's questions earlier this week.

Mr Cameron wrongly claimed that more people were in work, denied that disabled 
children would have their benefits cut, and duped MPs about support for NHS 
reforms.

The PM told the Commons there "are more people in work now than at the last 
election". But recent employment figures from the independent Office for 
National Statistics show that the number in work has fallen by 26,000 since May 
2010.

Total employment for full-time, part-time and temporary workers in May-July 
2010 was 29,145,000, but the number fell to 29,119,000 for September-November 
2011.

Mr Cameron then went on to bluntly deny that the Government's welfare reforms 
would slash benefits to disabled children.

He told Labour MP Anne McGuire she was "just plain wrong" when she asked: "Is 
reducing benefits for disabled children by over £1,300 a year something that 
reflects the Prime Minister's often repeated mantra that we are all in this 
together?"

Yet the Department for Work and Pensions' assessment on the new universal 
credit says the rate paid to disabled children WILL fall from £53.84 to £26.75 
a week.

And independent fact-finders Full Fact has said: "Ms McGuire is correct to 
state that some disabled children's benefits are being reduced by over £1,300 a 
year."

Mr Cameron then quoted Doncaster GP Dr Greg Conner to defend his NHS reforms. 
But he failed to mention that Dr Conner's remarks were made when he was 
chairman of the Doncaster clinical commissioning group - a position he no 
longer holds.

The PM's misleading comments could fall foul of the Ministerial Code.

Shadow Minister Michael Dugher said: "You get more whoppers from David Cameron 
than from Burger King.

"He either can't be bothered to get his facts right or, as The Mirror reveals, 
he just plays fast and loose with the truth. It goes to show how arrogant and 
out of touch he is."

Labour leader Ed Miliband called on Mr Cameron to correct the "inaccurate 
claims". Downing Street has yet to reply.

David Cameron's biggest fibs

* CAMERON has form for telling whoppers. Here are five of his biggest...

1 ON September 7, 2011 Cameron said the Royal College of General Practitioners, 
the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Nursing "all 
supported" his health reforms. All three organisations put out statements 
denying the claim.

2 BEFORE the election Cameron pledged to save the maternity and A&E units at 
Chase Farm Hospital, London. This week both the A&E and maternity units were 
downgraded.

3 DURING the election campaign Cameron said there were no plans to raise VAT. 
Tories put VAT up from 17.5% to 20%.

4 LAST June Cameron said there would be no rise in hospital waiting times. Last 
July's figures show 34% more patients waiting longer than the 18-week guarantee.

5 PM told MPs this month there were "25,000 police officers in back office 
jobs". Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary said there are just 7,927 
officers and PCSOs in back office roles.
