MPs in an icy blast for Boris

A government report today attacked Boris Johnson's "lack of leadership" during the heavy snow in February.

The transport committee's report also criticised the Mayor for not getting London's transport network back up and running more quickly and for his reluctance to face MPs' scrutiny. He at one point tried to leave a meeting in April, and last week was cleared of accusations of misconduct at another.

It adds: "We hope the Mayor will acknowledge the transport situation on 1 and 2 February was unsatisfactory."

Mayor hit back at the largely Labour transport committee for being "partisan" and "opportunistic".
