A frosty row broke out on GB News as former Labour adviser Scarlett MccGwire praised Sadiq Khan’s “good job”.
It comes as the London Mayor faces questions over his air miles, with Khan and his team racking up over 80,000 air miles last year.
Bev Turner took issue with the claim, going onto probe MccGwire on Khan’s record as London Mayor.
“I feel like I want to support you Scarlett, but it’s incredibly hard”, said Bev.

“Genuinely, I’m trying to come up with something to help you out. As somebody who lives in London, what do you see as an improvement?”
MccGwire responded: “There’s far fewer cars now.”

Bev quickly snapped back: “It is gridlocked”, before co-host Andrew Pierce waded in to brand the capital city a “car park”.
Carole Malone joined the argument to question whether MccGwire “really believes” that Khan is a good mayor.
“Yes. I do”, she responded.
“So with the failure of Transport for London, with knife crime as high as ever, you still think he’s good?”, Malone asked.

“What he did was sack a bad head of the Met Police, Cressida Dick was doing a bad job”, MccGwire said.
“I hope he has appointed someone better, but it’s a man who is trying to do his best. The Met is tough.
“Cressida Dick wasn’t doing her job properly.”
Earlier in the discussion, the panel had come to blows while debating Khan’s 80,000 air miles.
The topic soon shifted to the Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) expansion, with Malone hitting out at the Mayor for “misleading” the public on the matter.
MccGwire responded: “Where I live, it’s easier to be there now. There are other problems in inner London.”
Asked how he can solve the issues by flying to New York, MccGwire accused Andrew Pierce of trying to “conflate” issues.
“How do you stop young men killing each other?”, MccGwire asked.
“You don’t do it by flying to New York”, Pierce snapped back.
