The mayor of London has taken an apparent dig at Tory leadership candidate and Prime Ministerial hopeful Boris Johnson by urging his Twitter followers to call the police if they think their neighbours are at risk of domestic violence.
Last Friday, police were called to Johnson and his girlfriend Carrie Symonds' house after neighbours heard a row between the couple.
"This is so important. If you're worried about your neighbours, friends or colleagues don’t walk by. Ask if they are ok, tell someone and call the police. If there is no immediate danger you can call the National Domestic Violence Helpline on 0808 2000 247,” tweeted Sadiq Khan.
Earlier, this week a photo of Johnson holding his girlfriend's hand in a garden had appeared amidst speculation of the photo being staged following media and public lash back. While Johnson has refused to answer questions related to his personal life, polls had suggested that owing to the row, his competitor Jeremy Hunt had overtaken him for the first time in being favoured as the UK's next Prime Minister.
