Sadiq Khan has slammed Boris Johnson for his 'blatant lying' over the partygate scandal
"It's not just the arrogance of the Prime Minister, not just the hypocrisy, it's the blatant lying. It's the pattern of behaviour we're now seeing," Mr Khan said.
He added: "It's him asking us to make sacrifices, him changing rules and then blatantly breaking the rules. "I remind your listeners we have the Omicron variant - we're being asked to make sacrifices - wear a mask on the tube or in shops, work from home and so forth. "I know members of my family who have been in hospital recently who have not been able to see family because the hospital is following the rules and trying to keep us safe.
"Lo and behold, almost at the peak of this pandemic, the Prime Minister was blatantly breaking the rules and then lying about it."I think members of the public now expect him to do the right thing - which will be exceptional for him - and resign."
