London has a love and hate relationship with Sadiq khan.

They want him out as a mayor but don’t know who should be his replacement.

Like how bad are his opponents to keep him running again?

But the reality is nothing in London gonna change.

The only people who are going to seethe are the conservatives. Gotta love democracy.

The Brits have a strange relationship with politics I never want to delve into. They're weirdos when it comes to that arena.

Sadiq Khan turned London into an shithole. Tourists get told not to wear their luxury goods in that city, instead of the mayor fixing the problem. Instead of guns, they've got kids unaliving each other with knives. Laughable city. It's actually more laughable Somalis from other wealthy European countries migrated to the UK.

Gun crime has actually gone down under Sadiq. Knife crime has gone up in some years I believe, however-overall there are less knife homicides under Khan in some years compared to his predecessors. What you have to also factor is the cuts to the number of police, closure of many police stations and the reductions to public services, btw all done by the same Conservative Party who accuse Khan of destroying London with poor policing.

Fact check: has Sadiq Khan really overseen a crime surge in London? | Crime | The Guardian

Capital’s mayor is often accused of allowing crime to soar, but Guardian analysis shows reality is more nuanced

it’s interesting people report a reduction in anti social behaviour. There was a time when youths held many council estates hostage and the residents were bullied. I think that has reduced though it may be more to do with better technology and councils enforcing evictions than Khans policies.

London has definitely got worse in terms of hygiene, over crowding etc….These things need to be fixed but Khan isn’t the emperor of London. The right wing seem to thing the London Mayor is responsible for every issue in London.
