Read our privacy policy Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn mocked Boris Johnson during Prime Minister's Questions when he highlighted a tweet from the foreign secretary criticising the closure of a London police station – which was shut down under a policy he himself introduced when Mayor of the city. Mr Johnson took to the social media site to say he was “disappointed and mystified” by the decision to pull down the shutters on the station in Uxbridge, a decision he believed was made by London's current Labour mayor Sadiq Khan. “I’ve been following some of the tweets from some of her friends on the front bench over there and one quote says: ‘I’m very disappointed any mystified at Uxbridge police station',” he told Theresa May. The last time I looked Sadiq Khan was a Labour mayor.” The policy of closing local police stations was introduced in 2013, when Mr Johnson was Mayor.
