Boris Johnson was yesterday accused of describing criticism of low conviction rates for rape offences as 'jabber'.
Just 1.6 per cent of reported rapes and attempted rapes result in a charge and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said victims were being failed.
In his response in the Commons, the Prime Minister said: 'We're getting on with the job – they jabber, we jab. They dither and we deliver. They vacillate and we vaccinate.'
