| Well, you can make all the claims you like but Khan simply cannot recruit enough police officers, despite his pledges. You also ignore the extra funding he got just for that purpose, most of which he had to return unused. This is also the guy who enthusiastically extended the tenure of Cressida Dick as Met Commissioner and then unceremoniously dumped her a few months later. She wasn’t up to the job from day one, yet Khan didn’t see that. He was on the radio earlier spouting more untruths about knife crime, following the latest tragic stabbing. He said knife crime has been reduced, yet it’s up one fifth in the past year. Even the leftie bible admits this: https://amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/feb/26/fact-check-has-sadiq-khan-really-overseen-a-surge-in-london Boris was a disaster as Mayor and Khan is no improvement. He’s bumped up his precept to cover the massive extra costs incurred by TfL, including the big pay offers he made shortly before the election. He moaned about having no money for years but that magic tree showered him with lolly at just the right time. Seems he enjoys a bit of Boris cake eating and keeping too. I wasn’t ‘impressed’ by local Labour. They are only seen out and about at election times, the rest of the time is spent discussing policies with their preferred pressure groups. Considering the poll leads Labour has nationally, khan massively underperformed last week. All the post election analysis has said that, but he benefits from a high level of Tory antipathy among voters. Most campaigning was negative, making personal attacks on Susan Hall at every opportunity, rather than highlighting his own very modest achievements. |
