London's mayor Sadiq Khan has criticised his predecessor on his commitment to the city

Mr Khan said he will ask the government to give London additional powers and ensure the city is represented when a deal to exit the EU is struck. Talking about how London departed from the rest country the mayor said: "We have decided to leave European Union as a country but I see the huge benefits of having access to a single market brings to our city. "So what I have been saying to the government is that London needs to be around the negotiating table when it comes to getting a deal from the European Union. "The case now for more powers is stronger than ever; you should be giving us more powers but also making sure that we are around the table when negotiating the deal with the EU." Since the referendum, Mr Khan said he had been meeting businesses and investors and having talks with the Treasury to secure London's position in the global market.
