PM urged to apologise for saying Keir Starmer failed to prosecute Savile, after protesters call Labour leader ‘paedophile protector’
Boris Johnson will not apologise for remarks linking Keir Starmer to the failure to prosecute Jimmy Savile, a minister has said, as Conservative MPs called on the prime minister to back down after protesters shouted abuse at the Labour leader on Monday.
Ten Tory MPs called for Johnson to retract and apologise for the claims he made in the House of Commons last week, after anti-vaccine protesters surrounded Starmer near parliament and called him a “paedophile protector” and yelled “Jimmy Savile”. One demonstrator carried a noose.
