Conservative MP Chris Philp claimed this morning (February 8) that there was no link between comments made by Boris Johnson in parliament last week and the harassment on Keir Starmer yesterday (February 7).
Boris Johnson falsely accused the Labour leader last week of failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile, when he was in charge of the CPS.
Yesterday, Keir Starmer and David Lammy were approached and harassed by hecklers shouting "Jimmy Savile" at the leader of the opposition.
