Boris is having the worst week of his life - and now Sadiq Khan is actually trolling him

He’s already having the worst week of his career.

Now things have got even worse for Boris Johnson - as Sadiq Khan trolls him by coolly selling off his greatest embarrassment.

The mop-haired Tory rubber-stamped a £200,000 order for three second-hand water cannon in the wake of the London riots.

But the crowd control machines have never been used - and were spotted languishing in a bleak depot near a firing range in north Kent.

Yesterday Theresa May mocked the devices as she poked fun at Boris’s ability to negotiate with the EU.

She joked: “I seem to remember the last time he did a deal with the Germans he came back with three nearly new water cannon!”



Now London’s new Labour mayor has confirmed he will sell the machines owned by Scotland Yard.

“I’m going to sell them and use the money for youth services,” he told a debate last night.



He added: “This shows the inability of Boris Johnson to get a good deal - second hand, paid almost a quarter of a million pounds.

“We want to get rid of them. We are paying for storage facilities for these water cannon - that beggars belief.”
