Fake audio of Sadiq Khan is not a crime, says Met | … I’m sure the cast of Dead Ringers on Radio 4 are relieved

Police say faked audio purporting to capture the Mayor of London calling for Armistice Day to be re-scheduled for a pro-Palestinian march “does not constitute a criminal offence”. Sadiq Khan’s office said false material was being “circulated and amplified by a far-right group”. A Met spokesperson said specialist officers had reviewed the content. They described it as “artificial audio” that had been brought to the attention of the force. Security minister Tom Tugendhat said he was aware of the fake and called for people not to “repost or amplify it”.
