All London primary schools will now be closed at the start of term for most pupils, mayor Sadiq Khan has confirmed.

It comes two days after the government said only those in 22 of London's 32 boroughs would be affected by closures.

Earlier, the leaders of eight London boroughs called on the government to make a U-turn as they were "struggling to understand the rationale" behind the move.
