What are people on about "he failed to prosecute Saville" ... with what had been presented at the time, there wasn't enough evidence to continue pressing charges. I'm not a Starmer fan but suggesting he could have just stepped in and said "I'm the boss, we're forging ahead!" is just nonsense.

The overwhelming weight of damning evidence against Saville came out after his death.

I think it was a low blow but to be fair a lot of Starmers comments have been awfully "playground scrappy" too. Rubbish politics.
