“Starmer was the head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) at the time of the incidents,”
“time of the incidents” is ambiguous.
Was Starmer head of the CPS when Savile molested the children, or later when it was discovered/reported/came to prosecutors’ knowledge?
My vague memory of this is that Savile got away with his crimes for a LONG time. If Starmer was in charge of CPS during the period when the crimes were committed but he had no way of knowing about them, it’s a cheap shot to blame him.
If he was head of CPS when the crimes were known about, seems like he would or should have been in on decisions for a case that high profile. If so, burn the witch.
That's exactly the situation. The investigation which happened during Starmer's tenure was based on very little evidence - the damning evidence was only uncovered years later.
For Johnson to bring up this cheap slur in Parliament says more about Johnson than Starmer. Johnson lives in the gutter, and delights in pulling others down to his level.
