Boris Johnson faced growing pressure on Tuesday to make a “fulsome apology” and withdraw his “slur” that Sir Keir Starmer had failed to prosecute Jimmy Savile.
Senior Tory, Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs — and the Government’s own independent adviser on political violence and disruption — criticised the Prime Minister after the Labour leader had to be whisked into a police car when he was mobbed by protesters close to Parliament. At least two of them hurled abuse about serial sex offender Savile at him.
