Sadiq Khan was heckled by pro-Brexit supporters outside Parliament, who were furious with his record on crime as well as his support to block Brexit. The Mayor of London came face to face with the outraged Brexiteers moments before Boris Johnson also attacked him during PMQs. Earlier today, Mr Johnson told the House of Commons that it was “time to get rid of Sadiq Khan”.

The incredible video outside Parliament shows Brexiteers telling Sadiq Khan that he “is a useless mayor”.

One can be heard saying: “London doesn’t want you, Sadiq.”

Another heckled: “He can’t deal with crime.”

One protester added: “It is time for you to go!”

The nervous-looking London Mayor, flanked by aides and security personnel, moved quickly past the protesters who were stationed outside the Parliament’s gates.

Mr Khan has repeatedly faced criticism for his apparent failure to deal with London’s rising knife crime.

Boris Johnson added to the pressure on the Mayor of London by accusing him of “squandering” money.

Addressing his first-ever Prime Minister’s Questions, Mr Johnson said: “I left him £600 million by the way, and Sadiq Khan squandered it on press officers.

“The faster we get rid of Sadiq Khan and get more police officers out on the street the better.”

In response, Mr Khan accused the Prime Minister of being “petty”.

The row between the two leader comes amid growing tension over Brexit legislation in Westminster. 

The bill would require the Government to ask for a further delay to Brexit if a new deal is not agreed by October 19.
