Voters wrong to elect Boris, says MP
Londoners should blame themselves if Boris Johnson mishandles the aftermath of a terrorist attack on the capital, a Labour MP suggested.
Nottingham North Labour MP Graham Allen insisted voters were wrong to elect the Tory as mayor last week because he could not organise "a cup of tea.
"Boris Johnson the mayor of a big city? I wouldn't send him out for a cup of tea, frankly," Mr Allen told BBC Radio Nottingham.
"I hope it doesn't happen, but the first time there is a disaster or a terrible bombing or explosion in London, I hope those people will think again about what they actually did last week."
Mr Allen told the Press Association he stood by his comments, but stressed he "hoped very much nothing of that sort (a terrorist attack) does happen".
"It was a live interview," he added.
