I think this is part of an effort to shift the blame to the source of those lies, the police and the local MP. I don't think people expected quite as damning a revelation as that which gives him and The Sun the chance to portray themselves as mere unwitting conduit for lies told by the authorities. He'll position this as a nothing more than poor judgement in wording and taking the police for their word. When he says 'The lies', he means other people's lies.
