London Mayor Sadiq Khan was grilled by BBC host Martha Kearney while he spoke on the Today Programme on Tuesday. Ms Kearney argued the Mayor was giving conflicting advice to the public and schools about how to react to coronavirus. Mr Khan insisted he would continue to call on the Government to reconsider their move to keep schools open in London despite the surge in cases.
He also insisted that families of different households should not mix over the course of the Christmas period which Ms Kearney argued was confusing advice and forcing the public to choose between listening to him or the Government.
