Bridge dad fury at Boris

-

THE father of one of the London Bridge terror attack victims has accused Boris Johnson of trying to score political points in the aftermath.

Dave Merritt’s son Jack, 25, died alongside Saskia Jones, 23, in the attack by Usman Khan.

The PM said without the Brexit logjam early jail releases would have been axed, keeping terrorist Khan inside.

Mr Merritt said: “Where most of us were... seeing a tragedy unfolding in front of our eyes, instead of seeing a tragedy Boris Johnson saw an opportunit­y and he went on the offensive. At that point... well I had to say something.”
