Does anyone have a record of this? If so, what was it and when?

A politician, by inference NEVER tells you anything. To get a politician to actually say anything meaningful is tantamount to asking for the moon on the next bus. It dont happen.
A politician always answers a question with a question, or they will change the tack of the subject, therefore they can neither lie nor be deceitful.
It is the same as saying an honest politician, if they do not tell you anything then they do not lie. However that does NOT make them an honest politician.
It is a clever art form to make you go away THINKING that that person is supporting you, but they are not they are purely letting YOU think you have heard what you WANT to hear.
You will notice that good leaders are rejected by their country after any situation requiring leadership, but any situation that can be coped with without actually having to take the situation really heavily the politician will throw the complaints of course. but in the real manure the politician will walk away.
Look at history, Churchill, Eisenhower, get the drift!
Now you see I have NOT said they do, and I have not said they dont, but I have appeared to say what you wanted me to say!!!

yes these people work for us not the other way round people lose site of that . they lie all the time because they are told to follow the line other wise they are gone and hey wouldnt be in the position there in , in he first place if they did not do there job like this . these people work for us and they have no right to spin like they do its a disgrace , but people dont take notice they just go "oh find me a honest politician " and just except it , when it is us as a nation through being dumed down and not asking question that has led us to the position we are in .
one example : Ruth kelly recently was called a hypocrite for puting here special needs kid in a private school while she was the person that implemented special needs kids going into normal schools , i dont disagree with what she did as she wants the best for her children , its no surprise as these people have to tow the line ,BUT for her to ironicly be the person that implemented it and then takes the money from the job and puts it into the oposite says it all .
they are told what to say and do if she didnt do that she wouldnt have been in that job and someone else would have done it , im just glad it was an ironic situation where her herself had a special needs child and this came to light.

Someone tried. Within hours he’d lost two jobs and his political career lay in ruins. His name, somewhat ironically, is Howard Flight. He was deputy chairman of Britain’s Conservative party His crime was to suggest at a private meeting at London’s Adam Street Club that, following an electoral triumph, the Conservatives – historically, the party of low taxation and small government – might cut public spending. Michael Howard, Conservative leader, wasted no time stripping Flight of his position and, even more controversially, his right to be an MP. Be open in a democracy and bang goes the democracy part.

Ike warned us about the Industrial War Complex and a standing army. That turned out to be the truth. Too bad nobody listened.

Shockingly, the famous story about an (allegedly) very truthful American president in the past, George Washington who told his father that he "could not tell a lie" and had cut down his father's cherry tree...was made up! Just about sums it up really

President Eisenhower when he warned of the looming 'Military-Industrial complex'. Never has a politician been so honest.

Yes! Mr Blair. When he said he would not be giving up his foreign holidays to help save the planet.
Probably the only one though.

Al Gore warned us in 2000 that if elected, George W. Bush would enact huge giveaways for the rich that would cause huge budget deficits. He was right.

How can they? They take their orders from their masters in London and their sole objective is to lie, cheat and rob the electorate they are supposed to represent.

Walter Mondale - 1984.
Said he would raise taxes if elected.
He lost in one of the biggest landslides in history.
