It’s a fair point. By exactly the same token of course, if the government cutting 10,000 police officers has no effect on crime levels whatsoever, why bother employing any police at all? After all, if 10,000 of them don’t make any difference, they’re obviously a bit of a waste of our money Believe me they make a huge difference. You have to ask why they needed to make the cuts in the first place. Possibly because the country was in so much debt. Problem was they were too brutal. Funny how they found all the money they needed recently though isn’t it, in spite of all economic forecasts being fairly gloomy at the time AND subsequently 🧐 Anyway, you would accept then, that police cuts - decided by the national government - have an impact on crime levels. So how come you’re posting tweets of memes blaming everything on Sadiq Khan, listing uncorroborated stats, completely out of context? (A tweet which, it should also be noted, is an attempt by the tweeter to politicise the tragedy of Sgt Ratana’s death...)

And yes I would say the cuts have had an impact but they have been made over a period of time and not all in Khans reign.

Oh that's right I forgot the Tories only have 1 tactic smear someone and act as if there hollier than though when they are corrupt imoral and inept they will bang on in the Tory media as they usually do trying to brainwash people! If you watched the resent labour party party political youd have seen exactly where kier grew up and what he believes in ! So if hes just a Tory in discise like you say does that mean you are voting for him or are you still voting for the corrupt and inept Johnson

Sadiq is extremely popular with Londoners.
Has a 20 point lead over his nearest Conservative challenger and is on course for a comfortable victory in May.
I think what gives him the edge is that he appears to be sane compared to the other loons lined up against him.

And yes I would say the cuts have had an impact but they have been made over a period of time and not all in Khans reign. It often takes some time for the full effects of cuts to be seen, crime being a good example of this. I’m certainly not suggesting he’s blameless, although it’s notable that you equate your view to the brainlessly simplistic “it’s all the fault of the Tories”. I agree that it’s the flip side of that, and neither one is accurate. Much like your OP really, which makes no reference at all to the title of the thread and is instead just a link to a random rant by a right wing political commentator. It’s all just rather fake news isn’t it While I’m on the subject, the £5bn i assume you’re referring to in the thread title is the proposed £5.7m bail out of TfL. An organisation which even a child would be able to understand has been fairly adversely affected by coronavirus - which is itself another external force that Khan isn’t remotely responsible for. It’s almost as if you’re furiously trying to pin any old bullshit on him

It’s just a straight fact really, which I’ll continue to point out on here regardless of whether anyone finds it provocative, difficult or challenging

I think you are confusing the strength of the Labour vote in London with his personal popularity, if you swapped rosettes Bailey would probably be 20% ahead in the polls, thats not to say he is unpopular or anything but honestly in the 20 odd years I have been in London the only time I spoke to anyone about the mayor was when I was at Tfl and that was related to work and Ken's crazy ideas, for most people the mayor only figures in their thoughts when they set fares for the year because thats all the job is really a glorified transport commissioner.

[/a] Same old tories! same old corruption! same old vanity projects! same old feathering there own nests! same old same old tories and boris !! makes your figures look like peanuts tories cant be trusted with anything !!! [/quote] Crossrail + £1 billion started under johnson at his promptingFare freeze +£1.9 billion johnson had massive reserves at tfl and year on year hit commuters with fair rises even when none were required khan pledged to use this to keep fares affordable for all5x as wank as Boris in just 2 actions and thats before the extra pr and staff costs needed to tell people how great he is. [/quote] [/quote] Oh ok then the NHS started under Labour so anything wrong with it is their fault by your logic..... Crossrail he is charge it is him who has failed to ensure it is being kept to budget. Fare rises he claimed the cost of his election bribe was £450m its actually nearer to £2 billion and even then fares still went up apart from for tourists and millionaires who could afford to live in central london.... [/quote] you really are an idiot arnt you holding someone responsible for a project that they didn't instigate and was not properly costed and hs had problems rubbish on the fair increase they have been the same he also introduced the hop on off system where you re only charged once for any umber of busses in 1 hour cutting the price of some commuters travel i find it so sad that you are trying to belittle a mayor of london on a stoke website you really must be desperate and worried about how inept your candidate is [/quote] Mate if you want to call someone an idiot its best to spell fare correctly and why are you lying or do you not travel into London ? Daily, weekly and monthly travelcards have increased EVERY year despite the promise that no fares would increase, like I said buses freeze helps tourists and those rich enough to live in central london the majority of commuters it does not help at all. Its a messageboard for discussion I live and work in London, you think its sad that I post facts to contradict your bullshit and I really dont care who the next glorified London transport commissioner is but there is no reason I should not be able to say how wank Khan is. I notice you have still not apologised to northy for calling him a racist as you cant read correctly stay classy. [/quote] Why would anyone apologise to little old northy for calling him racist when he’s made racist posts? Oh yeah, that’s right, because he happens to agree with your bullshit. You’re a clown pal

Yet he still got 400k less votes than brexit did in London, he will win the election to be a glorified transport commissioner but if its like last time most people dont even bother voting.

Thanks for the irrelevant Brexit lesson. One minute he's responsible for all knife crime in London, next thing he's a glorified transport commissioner. I do wish people would make their minds up......

He's polling at 6% higher than Labour did in equivalent seats in the 2019 general. He seems to be quite popular for someone so shit and unpopular!
