Do MPs lie?

'Honest Ed'
If you hear a Labour MP in the next few days saying something like

"I’ve supported Jeremy Corbyn all the way along, from the moment he was elected...but I’ve reluctantly reached a conclusion that his position is untenable" (Ed Miliband 29/6/16)

but have this nagging feeling that he is not being entirely truthful, just check their name against this useful list, drawn up by the Corbyn campaign way back in March 2016:
