One victim's family begged politicians not to politicise their son's death, but Johnson said a 'lefty government' was to blame for the attack.
Boris Johnson was accused of politicising the London Bridge terror attack despite the pleas of one victim's family to do so. David Merritt, the father of victim Jack Merritt, asked politicians not to use the 'terrible, isolated incident' to justify more 'draconian' justice measures. By that time, the prime minister had already written an article setting out a new tougher stance on terrorism sentences in the Mail on Sunday newspaper.
