I recall the policy to close 65 London police stations was introduced in 2013 by the Mayor of London at the time. His name was Boris Johnson not Sadiq Khan He then complained about planned Uxbridge closure in 2017 🤷🏻‍♀️ (Our station was closed in 2016 because of huge budget cuts)

In a nutshell. 👇🏼 I repeat my previous statement. People aren't waiting 40 hours for an ambulance (or a hospital bed) because of industrial action by the RCN. They're waiting 40 hours for an ambulance because of what the Tories have done to the NHS over the last 12 years.
