Boris Johnson has been slammed as a "disgrace" and a man with "no respect" after people have claimed he used Jimmy Savile in the Commons to "save himself" during a back and forth with Sir Keir Starmer.The PM accused the Labour leader of failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile as he hit back at Labour criticism over the Sue Gray report.The Prime Minister said: “The report does absolutely nothing to substantiate the tissue of nonsense that he has said.
