The incident came after Prime Minister Boris Johnson made a discredited claim that Sir Keir Starmer failed to prosecute sex offender Jimmy Savile while he was director of public prosecutions.

coronavirus dominated the past two years of our lives, many hoped that 2022 would bring more positivity, a fresh start, and the beginning of a new era as we adjust to life living with the illness that took the lives of so many. Instead, the past month has been marred with Government scandals and among those who have just about had enough of it, is Jeremy Clarkson.The 61-year-old has never been one to hold his tongue when it comes to issues of public interest, and why would he start now?In his latest column for The Sun, the Clarkson's Farm star branded our country's leaders "pathetic"."Every single day it’s the same thing," he sighed."You’re a liar. You smell.

Good Morning Britain viewers were left irrated as they picked up on Richard Madeley's name habit.

Boris Johnson didn't lie about the percentage of national crime figures that had been tackled by the Tories.It comes after the official Twitter account for BBC Politics shared a clip from the interview, showing the "selective" response to the question regarding crime rates.The tweet read: "Why did PM Boris Johnson tell Parliament that Government is cutting crime by 14 per cent when that’s not true?"Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng: 'All I know is that certainly on the doorstep people are saying that there is progress being made.'"Clearly a little confused by Kwarteng's reply, Victoria snapped: "Errrr crime is down if you take out certain crimes??!!"Time to stop insulting voters’ intelligence?"In the interview, the Business Secretary told Raworth he "didn't know why" she said the statistics were "untrue".He said: "I don't know what the evidence is for it not being true."All I know is that certainly on the doorstep, people are saying that there is progress being made."Raworth replied: "It isn't true because he hadn't included in that figure, and this is the Chair of the Statistics Authority who said that he had not included in that figure, fraud and computer misuse."The UK Chair of the Statistics Authority said that if fraud and computer misuse had counted in total crime, as they should be, total crime in fact increased NOT decreased by 14 percent."She added: "It's reasonable for people to expect the Prime Minister is accurate in what he says about an issue as important as crime in The Commons?"Kwarteng was quick to respond: "So when people talk about crime..." he began, before stressing how important he thinks fraud is."People are talking particularly about burglaries and personal injury and physical crimes."I think in

Jeremy Clarkson, 61, has called out Sir Keir Starmer, 59, over an apparent blunder he made while hitting out at Prime Minister Boris Johnson, 57, during PMQs last week. The presenter savagely branded the Labour leader “Sir Lego Head” in his latest column while questioning his criticism of Johnson.Jeremy began by blasting MPs for “sitting around arguing like schoolchildren in a playground brawl” over the ‘partygate’ scandal.However, when Starmer eventually veered away from discussing the alleged parties that were thrown at Number 10 Downing Street during lockdown, Jeremy wasn’t impressed with that either.Starmer slammed the leader of the Tories for raising taxes for working people.He was referring to the controversial £12bn rise in National Insurance tax, which is set to begin from April, despite people simultaneously facing rising living costs.The Labour MP asked: “Why do he and the chancellor keep raising taxes on working people?”Sir Keir went on to claim taxes are having to go up because growth is dwindling under the Conservative Government.Johnson quickly dismissed the criticism and said the UK has been dealing with an “unprecedented economic crisis” caused by the Covid pandemic.Weighing in on the PMQs debate, Jeremy penned in The Sun: “In a brief diversion this week, Sir Lego Head stopp­ed talking about ­parties and asked the Tories why they keep raising taxes on working people.” The former Top Gear host then claimed Sir Keir had made an awkward error in his critique of the Prime Minister. He fumed: “Well, you idiot, it might have something to do with the fact they can’t very well raise taxes on people who aren’t working.”Sir Keir previously urged Boris to resign as prime minister after he admitted to attending a

Kate Garraway, 54, was left taken aback when Good Morning Britain’s Senior News Correspondent Jonathan Swain, 49, took the opportunity to aim a witty jibe at Boris Johnson while reporting from just outside Number 10 Downing Street yesterday. Jonathan filmed his view of the Prime Minister’s home being pelted by rain while underneath a storm cloud.It comes just after it was announced that Elena Narozanski had become the fifth No 10 adviser to quit her role, following the departure of policy chief Munira Mirza and three others last week.The resignations have been coming in thick and fast in the wake of the Sue Gray report over allegations about parties being thrown at Downing Street during the coronavirus lockdown, when such gatherings were banned.The journalist could be heard saying in view of his 25,000 followers: “Morning, it never rains but it pours here at Downing Street, quite literally!“We have the rain pouring and we have people pouring out of that door.“Another policy advisor has quit today as well.”Alongside his video, Jonathan tagged Kate and her GMB co-star Ben Shephard in a caption, which read: “Is this Storm Boris?! “Have a look @benshephard @kategarraway @GMB #GMB #BorisJohnson.”Kate retweeted Jonathan’s cheeky post in view of her own 485,000 followers to reveal her reaction. The ITV star simply exclaimed: “Crikey!”It wasn’t long before Kate’s fans took to the comments section to share their own thoughts on the drama unfolding at Downing Street.Michael Brown agreed: “As they say "It never rains but..." etcetera. Bet someone is feeling it.”Barry Lewis quipped: “It’s Boris to blame for the weather.

A photograph of Boris Johnson holding a can of beer at his birthday bash in June 2020 has been handed over to police.

Boris Johnson has told Greater Manchester residents, who were banned from mixing with other households indoors for a heartbreaking 391 days, he is 'sorry for any misjudgements' in the wake of 'partygate'.

Downing Street’s head of policy, Munira Mirza, has reportedly resigned after Boris Johnson failed to apologise for using a Jimmy Savile slur against Sir Keir Starmer.

The Prime Minister has been accused of attending a leaving party for one of his senior advisors when the country was in lockdown last January, reports say.

BBC journalist Emily Maitlis had to apologise on Twitter today after retweeting an attack on a Conservative minister that risked compromising the impartiality that she is asked to maintain as part of her job.The tweet in question was critical both of the Conservative party and of Nadine Dorries during a recent interview with Channel 4.However, some of Emily’s followers have questioned the sincerity of her apology, given that she retweeted the original post whilst saying sorry for her first retweet.Emily, 51, first retweeted former Tory minister and outspoken critic of Boris Johnson, Rory Stewart.Rory, 49, himself had retweeted another user called Jay J, who shared a clip of Channel 4's interview with Nadine, 64.In the first tweet, Jay had written: “Another Nadine Dorries interview to file under the car crash genre.”Sharing the video via Jay’s account, Rory added a caption reading: “The sheer tawdry Trumpian shabbiness of the whole thing - it is difficult to see how much more of this the party or our political system can survive.”Retweeting this post once more after deleting her previous retweet earlier this afternoon, Emily apologised to her 446,500 followers.“I have deleted my earlier retweet of the below and would like to apologise for the hurt I have caused,” she stated.In a follow-up tweet, she clarified: “For the avoidance of doubt I accept I should have added extra context - it was retweeted in haste - and was wrong to do.” Underneath the tweet, Twitter users seemed largely amused by Emily’s apology.Steven Battelle pointed out: “Fantastic skills in apologising while still retweeting, no apology was needed in the first place.”Raindrop wrote: “The brilliant @maitlis draws even more readers to her heartfelt opinion

"It is like the nation is watching a ludicrous pantomime and everyone is laughing for the wrong reasons," said Sally Duffy.

Boris 'Bozo' Johnson got the spanking of his political life by Sue Gray today.The grovelling PM was tonight battling for credibility after the Partygate report lashed a “failure of leadership and judgement” at the heart of Downing Street.Scotland Yard cops are poring through 300 photos and 500 documents around the scandal as the “disgusting” leader continued to refuse to resign.Bozo issued a pitiful “sorry” in the House of Commons after the damning publication of the much-awaited Partygate inquiry by Whitehall enforcer Ms Gray called out poor leadership.He also vowed to “fix it” as his government was blasted for holding 16 shindigs in lockdown – 12 of which are now subject to a lockdown-busting criminal behaviour probe by the Met. They include the Prime Minister’s birthday celebrations and a gathering in his Downing Street flat.Top civil servant Ms Gray’s report is a watered-down version of her inquiry after her findings were severely censored and redacted by the Met due to the ongoing police probe.

Ruth Davidson fought back tears on live TV tonight as she accused Boris Johnson of 'degrading' politics.

The Met Police said it has been handed more than 300 pictures as its investigation into gatherings held in Downing Street and the Cabinet Office during lockdown continue.

Boris Johnson was asked if he had ‘understood’ coronavirus rules during a ‘savage’ takedown by former Prime Minister Theresa May in the Commons.

A pared-back version of Sue Gray's inquiry into rule-breaking parties at Downing Street has been published.

The Sue Gray report today found 'failures of leadership and judgement' over Downing Street lockdown parties that 'should not have been allowed'.

Civil servant Sue Gray has published part of her long-awaited report into the partygate row. She has been investigating a number of rule breaking parties allegedly held during lockdown, including the 'bring your own booze' gathering on 20 May 2020. Now, an update from the report has been made available to the public. The inquiry covers a total of 16 separate gatherings on 12 different dates. Ms Gray is understood to have pared back the report following a request from the Metropolitan Police. The wording of a government statement issued on Monday (31 January) suggested that the official may wish to publish a fuller-version of the results of her inquiry after the Met completes its investigation. But Downing Street said it will publish the Gray report in the full form it has received from the inquiry team - and did not commit to publishing a fuller version in the future.

The Prime Minister is expected to make a statement today (Monday 31 January) on the latest update from the Sue Gray report.
