London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan on Wednesday accused Prime Minister Boris Johnson of lying, after the PM blamed him for bankrupting Transport for London (TfL).

The quarrel between the Labour mayor and Conservative prime minister came after Khan’s statement earlier in the day condemning the strings attached to the government’s TfL rescue proposal, which Khan said was “ill-advised and draconian”.
