Sadiq Khan was on Monday accused of playing “political games” with the Met after stepping in to save an under-threat police station in Boris Johnson’s old constituency — just weeks before a crunch by-election.
The closure of Uxbridge police station had become a major issue for voters in Uxbridge and South Ruislip as Labour battle to take control of the former prime minister’s seat. Campaigners had long opposed it shutting and Mr Johnson used a rare Commons appearance last year to raise the issue.
