A row broke out on Wednesday after Tory leadership candidate Robert Jenrick accused mayor Sadiq Khan of poor judgement by “mourning” Chris Kaba’s death, and suggested that the Met Police have given some Londoners “protected status” in applying the law.
But an ally of Mr Khan hit back, saying the Conservative MP’s remarks were “outrageous” and a “tasteless” attempt to turn Mr Kaba’s shooting into “a political football”.
