Nahhh
How does he justify paying so many of his cronies 6 figure salaries?
Kind of bleak that his opponent is even worse.
Not enthused at all about having to vote for Khan again, but what other option is there when the Tories put up such a piss poor candidate like Susan Hall?
Is he fucking slow
Once in a generation… What on earth is he suggesting?
Are we going to get record levels of new housing? Tackle inequality? Is there going to be a transportation advancement even half as important as crossrail (which opened this very mayoral term)?
At least put a bit of craft into your empty sloganeering, I know there aren’t exactly a lot of string alternatives candidates but still..
Wonder what he has planned for a third term as mayor that he couldn’t achieve in his first two.
3rd time lucky or what?
This guy is pretty much a fraud who talks the talk, yet doesn’t back it up with a whole lot of action. I won’t vote for him, because I think he’s full of hot air and has achieved very little – and he’s been doing this a while. But there’s also no viable alternative to vote for either. Bit depressing for this ‘vibrant, multicultural’ city.
Genuine question from not a Londoner living in London….
Who is the alternative option and are they any good??
Or how bad are they compared to him??
I think he’s great
Let’s see how he performs under a labour government
He’s doing exactly the same thing that his own party is (justifiably) accusing the Tories of doing in Westminster: claiming that there’s a problem to solve despite not solving it over the many years they’ve been in office.
He’s had 2 terms already to “fix London”, and he’s made it worse. And it’s hardly “once in a generation”, he’ll have had 3 chances if he wins, and taken none of them.
What a load of bollocks. Unfortunately his opponent is equally incompetent so he’ll probably win again.
As opposed to the previous two terms he’s had..
I don’t want to vote for him but there is no other alternative
So I only moved to London a few years ago, but ain’t khan pretty good but hamstrung by Tory lack of funding?
The opportunity was two terms ago.
I actually don’t really have any issues with Khan. He just seems like a regular politician, like the ones we used to have before the Brexit/Tory decent into the gutter.
Hmmm, shouldn’t that be a ‘third opportunity in a generation….’
Who is the lib dem candidate?
No thanks, def not him.
Over a thousand murders under his misrule so far. Looks like we’re on course for a thousand more thanks to totally legitimate postal votes.
He’ll probably get 87% of the vote.
Had the Tory campaigners round my way over the weekend.
Their only spiel was, genuinely, “I don’t think you can vote for Sadiq Khan, can you?”
I mean, I’d rather not, but if all you can give me as the chief opposition is “not the other guy” then I’m not sure why you think that will win you many votes.
He’s really counting on Labour getting into power
All things considered I think Khan has been a fine mayor. There’s only so much he is in control of and I don’t imagine it’s been easy being hamstrung by an antagonistic Tory government for all of that time. I’d like to see what changes can take place with a Labour government and mayorship working in tandem together for once.
Didn’t he already have twice in a generation opportunity to fix London? Would be a “thrice” in a generation opportunity to fix London.
He had 2 chances already, he made things worse.
He has to go!
I have no idea what exactly he has done but there’s probably gonna be a Labour gov so i’m voting for him.
Khan doesn’t wow me but it always surprises me how bad his opposition are, guess tories see London as a lost cause and would rather go for the gammon eaters in Suffolk and the like
