Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has accused Boris Johnson of launching the Jimmy Savile slur on Sir Keir Starmer so "people start believing it".
Speaking on LBC, Mr Khan said the Prime Minister was "amplifying right wing conspiracy theories" to try and damage the Labour leader as part of a "dead cat" strategy to distract the public from Partygate.
Sir Keir has been the subject of death threats after the PM made false claims in parliament about him being personally responsible for the Crown Prosecution Service's failure to prosecute the paedophile.
