The Prime Minister lies again about Keith Schembri and government tenders

“They are private companies,” he said. (Yes, but one of them is owned by the Prime Minister’s chief of staff, who has just been sitting at a press conference in that role, watching his boss shake on a government deal with one of the customers of his private business.)

“Now if Mr Schembri’s companies were tendering for and getting government business – WHICH THEY DON’T – that would be another matter,” the Prime Minister said.
