Boris Johnson rebuked by Speaker over Jimmy Savile slur & Starmer incident: Words have consequences!

Boris Johnson was rebuked by Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle today over his Jimmy Savile “slur” on Sir Keir Starmer after the Labour leader was mobbed by angry protestors near Parliament.

The Prime Minister is facing calls to apologies and withdraw his claim that Sir Keir, when Director of Public Prosecutions, failed to prosecute serial sex offender Savile.

The Labour leader was targeted by demonstrators near Parliament on Monday afternoon, with some hurling Savile abuse.

He had to be rushed into a police car to protect him.

At the start of Tuesday’s Commons session, Sir Lindsay told MPs: “Regardless of yesterday’s incident, I made it clear last week that while the Prime Minister’s words were not disorderly they were inappropriate.
