Sunday political interviews round-up: Khan bashes Boris

It is Remembrance Sunday, and the party leaders put their politics aside this morning as they gathered around the Cenotaph to lay wreaths and honour those who lost their lives in times of war. However, in the TV studios, the political debate still carries on with as much vigour as before:

Sadiq Khan – Boris Johnson has ‘got to go’

The Mayor of London joined Andrew Marr today and within minutes Khan had called for Boris Johnson to be dismissed from his post as Foreign Secretary. Marr raised the subject of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a British national who is currently serving a five year jail sentence in an Iranian prison. During a recent select committee hearing, Johnson had suggested that Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe had been training journalists while on holiday there, leading to accusations that he may have condemned her to serve another five year sentence in the country:

AM: I wonder what your reflections are on what now needs to be done and whether you’re thinking of getting involved in this story yourself?

SK: …I think it’s important that Boris Johnson clarifies the huge error that he made because he’s been prayed in aid by Iranian state TV and others to say that because of what he said, it’s an admission on the part of the British government to what Nazanin is alleged to have done.
