What a bunch of morons.
Calling him traitor for protecting podophiles because he didn't prosecute jimmy Savile.
No 10 has no intention of apologising for the PM's false claim that Sir Keir Starmer failed to prosecute Jimmy Savile, after the Labour leader was targeted by protesters near Parliament.
Boris Johnson is facing fresh calls from Tory MPs to say sorry, after protesters were heard shouting about the sex offender, as well as protesting about Covid measures.
But a senior source told the BBC: "He's got other stuff to get on with today."
Mr Johnson did condemn the harassment.
In a tweet, he said the behaviour directed at Sir Keir on Monday afternoon was "absolutely disgraceful" and "completely unacceptable".
But a No 10 source said it was unreasonable to suggest that what happened on Monday "was Boris's fault and not the mob's fault".
At least seven Tory MPs later linked the incident to the PM's incorrect comment and demanded the prime minister said sorry.
However, Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis said the PM had made a "fair and reasonable point" about Sir Keir taking responsibility for the organisation he led, and nobody should use the remarks to "excuse behaviour from thugs".
Videos on social media showed Sir Keir being escorted into a police car on Victoria Embankment shortly after 17:00 GMT, close to Portcullis House - an office building used by MPs.
Protesters could be heard repeatedly shouting "traitor", while criticising the Labour leader for supporting Covid vaccinations and not "opposing the government" or protecting the working man.
Some protesters were seen holding signs opposing mandatory vaccinations and restrictions to curb the spread of Covid.
But there were also shouts about attacks on journalists, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, and about protecting paedophiles, naming Savile.
Some MPs have linked these remarks to the false claim that Mr Johnson made in the Commons last week, when he said Sir Keir "spent most of his time prosecuting journalists and failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile".
Scotland Yard later said a man and a woman were arrested after a traffic cone was thrown at officers.
