An Islamist member of Egypt’s new Parliament has been ousted over lying about a nose job. Anwar al-Balkimy, part of the conservative Nour Party, claimed he had to undergo facial reconstructive surgery after being robbed and beaten by a group of masked men.

Embarrassingly, the Nour Party had already accused the country’s interior minister of possibly being involved in the made-up attack.
