Munira Mirza says attempt to associate Keir Starmer with failure to prosecute child abuser was ‘inappropriate and partisan’
Boris Johnson’s longstanding policy chief Munira Mirza has dramatically quit over the prime minister’s attempt to associate Keir Starmer with the failure to prosecute paedophile Jimmy Savile.
In a strongly-worded resignation letter obtained by the Spectator, Mirza told Johnson: “This was not the usual cut and thrust of politics; it was an inappropriate and partisan reference to a horrendous case” of child sexual abuse.
