Conservative MPs in 'despair' after Boris Johnson invokes far-right conspiracy theory against politi

political opponent in Parliament

Conservative MPs are infuriated after Boris Johnson invoked a far-right conspiracy theory against his political rival Sir Keir Starmer in Parliament.

The prime minister on Monday claimed that the Labour leader, a former director of public prosecutions, had "spent most of his time prosecuting journalists and failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile, as far as I can make out."

Savile, a longtime BBC presenter, was a serial sex offender who died before he was ever prosecuted.

Johnson was speaking during a Commons debate, meaning he is protected by parliamentary privilege.

(he left on his own) so Johnson just continues to lie and those that call him out are the ones being kicked out?
