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".

Not saying it is all the fault of Boris but an apology from him might help to calm matters.
