Labour has criticised the British Prime Minister for using a coronavirus press conference to make “another unprompted political attack” on London Mayor Sadiq Khan.

Boris Johnson accused his successor at City Hall of “blowing” Transport for London’s (TfL) finances through an “irresponsible fares policy” after declaring that he had left them in “robust good order”.
