What about when he lied in the BR about not trying to slip out of the role of being deputy manager in the fourth week which Margaret pulled him out for?”
He said he was happy to do it if Simon didn't delegate responsibility for all decisions. He did not lie.
He would argue he was happy to be deputy leader under some conditions. Now whether you call that backing out is another matter. He was obviously wary but he did NOT just back out. So you cannot accusing him of lying, and I don't think Margaret would accuse him of lying.
