LABOUR's shadow health secretary has been slammed for attacking Boris Johnson with a jibe about Harold Shipman.
Wes Streeting apologised after heckling the PM in the Commons with a reference to the sick serial killer.
He lashed out on Monday as Mr Johnson urged people to use common sense as he ripped up all Covid laws.
Mr Streeting shot back across the chamber: "Lectures from you on personal responsibility? What next? Harold Shipman on medical ethics?"
Tory MPs – many of whom at first thought he said "what next, Harold Shipman on the frontbench" – skewered the Labour bigwig.
High Peak MP Robert Largan tweeted: "Hyde is just outside my constituency. A close family friend’s mother was one of Shipman’s many many victims.
"I hope that, on reflection, Wes Streeting apologises for his comments".
Bassetlaw MP Brendan Clarke-Smith piled in: "These comments are outrageous. They’re an insult to the families of Shipman’s victims."
