Boris Johnson has suffered another devastating blow after the long-serving head of policy at Downing Street resigned over his slur against Keir Starmer over child abuser Jimmy Savile.
Munira Mirza, a close adviser of Johnson for the last 14 years, quit dramatically as the Prime Minister attempted to row back on his repeated false claim that Starmer failed to pursue paedophile Savile while Director of Public Prosecutions.
According to the Spectator magazine the Prime Minister’s knowingly false attack on Starmer, while cornered in the Commons on the Sue Gray report on lockdown parties in Downing Street, was the final straw for her.
