Sadiq Khan’s new policing deputy has apologised for calling the former Tory mayoral candidate Susan Hall a “racist” and a “climate change denier”, following claims that the “abhorrent” choice of language put Ms Hall “at risk of great physical harm”.
Kaya Comer-Schwartz, who until this month was Labour leader of Islington Council, was announced by Mr Khan as his pick to replace Sophie Linden as deputy mayor for policing and crime.
