Gasps of disbelief, and shouts from around the hall

Ed Miliband made rather an obvious error in denying during the leaders' Question Time that the last Labour government overspent.

There were gasps of disbelief, and shouts from around the hall.

I suppose politicians think "the bigger the lie the more it will be believed" but it didn't work in this case.
