Speak to Sadiq: Mayor Sadiq Khan grilled by listeners | LBC
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan was live on LBC to discuss the response to coronavirus - and listeners hailed it as "sensible" and "reassuring".
The Mayor praised Boris Johnson for the way he has dealt with the coronavirus outbreak and said he was right to follow the recommendations of scientists.
The Mayor's rival in the upcoming election, Rory Stewart, has called for all schools and large gatherings to be closed to combat Covid-19. But he said that could put more elderly relatives at risk who have to look after the children.
Listeners hailed James O'Brien's programme with the Mr Khan.
Not Sadiq Khan biggest fan but currently listening to him on LBC and he is talking the most sense regarding this Coronavirus. Fair play. @LBC #CoronavirusPandemic

Well done @SadiqKhan for aligning his views with science and facts rather than party politics - we need more of this! @LBC 👍

Why is it that I've heard more from @SadiqKhan with @mrjamesob @LBC about coronavirus than anyone in government?
