MPs voted to take away former PM Johnson's parliamentary pass earlier this week.
Stephen Flynn has suggested that Rishi Sunak "has taken his honesty lessons from Boris Johnson" during Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday.
Flynn said: “In February, the Prime Minister told this here House that borrowing costs are back to where they should be, in March he boasted we are on track to halve inflation by the end of the year, and in May he then said economic optimism is increasing. Sunak replied: “He also failed to mention that not just the Bank of England, not just the OBR, not just the OECD, but also the IMF, all of them have upgraded their growth outlook for the United Kingdom economy this year.
Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle warned Flynn to be a “little bit more cautious” and not imply Sunak was misleading MPs.He said: "Listening to the Prime Minister's answer I don't think he quite grasps the economic situation facing that doesn't need to be like this. It didn't need to be like this. Because mortgage deals in Ireland, they're not sitting in excess of six per cent, they're around about four and a half percent.
