Sadiq Khan. Can anyone tell me something positive about what he has done?

Free school meals, cleaner air, transport improvements like the superloop (a bloody god send)

I've lived in London all my life. This man has ruined our once great city. The sooner he's gone, the better.

Yes...Instigated by a man who insists on a cavalcade of range rovers to chauffeur him everywhere (this isnt hyperbole - it's literal)

The hypocrisy is just painful.

I've lived in London all my life. This man has ruined our once great city. The sooner he's gone, the better.

I am not from London, so just wondering if anyone at all has anything positive at all to say about this catastrophe of man!

So why do you care?

Some of the things that PPs have listed as Sadiq Khan’s achievements aren’t his at all.

He became Mayor of London in 2016.

Elizabeth line - construction started in 2009, way before he was mayor. It is purely coincidence that it opened during his term. I mean, if you are going to list that as one of his achievements, you should surely also attribute the 3 year delay and £4bn overspend to him as well. (Yes, I know they were nothing to do with him - but that’s the point, isn’t it).

ULEZ - was proposed by Boris Johnson in 2014 and originally scheduled to start in 2020. Admittedly Khan pushed ahead with it, but it was not his idea.

Some tube drivers are also RMT members and so the RMT does organise underground driver strikes. There have been plenty of tube strikes since Khan became mayor! and as he is ultimately in charge of TfL, yes, they come under his remit. But tube drivers would strike no matter who was mayor, they always want more and more money, so 🤷‍♀️

He’s not as terrible as some people make out, but he’s certainly not as good as some people seem to think either.

You might want to ask yourself, OP, why there are so many videos about how awful he is from people who don’t even live in London. What is it about him specifically that makes them so angry?

That's the difference between living in London and only getting access to the incessant anti Sadiq media content which has no relation to reality.

Sadie Khan is not perfect but he has made real improvements to public transport and the environment. He has also worked hard on community relations, especially between the Jewish and Muslim communities.

Free school meals for all primary school children. Saved me a lot of money

Over riding the council who tried to block the development of new buildings.

Kept the price of buses low and introduced the unlimited buses within 1 hour. I only really respected this when I travelled outside of London and experienced the expensive slow arse buses!

ULEZ has been a very positive thing for London, if you aren’t from London - why do you care? What an odd (and misinformed) post.

1. Implementation of the Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and Low Emission Bus Zones, leading to a significant reduction in air pollution.

2. Introduction of the "Hopper" fare, allowing unlimited bus and tram journeys within an hour for a single fare.

3. Establishment of the Violence Reduction Unit and investment in youth services to tackle the root causes of violent crime.

4. Commitment to building more affordable homes, with a target of 50% of new homes being genuinely affordable.

5. Launch of the London Living Rent, helping Londoners on average incomes afford to rent a home.

6. Promotion of active travel, including the expansion of London's cycle network with the introduction of cycle superhighways and the creation of "Mini-Holland" cycling schemes.

7. Support for businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the "Pay It Forward" scheme and the London Business Hub.

8. Investment in green spaces and the environment, with a commitment to make London a National Park City and an ambition to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2030.

9. Encouragement of cultural initiatives, such as the "London Borough of Culture" award, which aims to highlight the importance of culture in local communities.

10. Establishment of the Mayor's Young Londoners Fund to support education, sports, and cultural activities for young people.

If you're not from London, I can't quite see what it has to do with you. Londoners are clearly happy with him, given the number of times he's been reelected. You've gone digging for dirt about a man who doesn't represent you, and for whom you cannot vote? Why? And why post a load of personal insults about him whilst simultaneously asking if he has any good points? You've clearly made your mind up about this person whose performance in office is none of your business.

You might want to ask yourself, OP, why there are so many videos about how awful he is from people who don’t even live in London. What is it about him specifically that makes them so angry?

So the past few days I've unfortunately gone down a bit of a rabbit hole of clips about the Mayor of London.

From what I have seen the man is an utter buffoon who has done nothing to improve London, in fact quite the opposite.

Strikes increasing. Homelessness increasing. Crime - off the charts. Congestion zone charges etc.

And don't get me started on the deputy who seems to be from another planet!
