Bailey's main policy focus seemed to be on tackling crime. Pity he didn't get elected. Seems a sensible guy.

Metro mayors have little power over anything but transport in their city. They are the equivalent of Police and Crime Commissioners when it comes to the police so completely toothless. Some of the metro mayors have refused to have this role under their remit.

Very sad that Count Binface lost his deposit.

It is Mr Khan's most obvious failing I am not sure if he doesn't know how to fix it or if he even cares.

When you are so PC it is difficult for him to tackle crime effectively

Labour's Sadiq Khan has won a second term as London's mayor, beating Conservative rival Shaun Bailey.


He won 55.2% of the popular vote, after entering a run-off with Mr Bailey when neither managed to secure a majority in the first round of voting.


The former MP became the first Muslim mayor of an EU capital city when he was first elected to the role in 2016.


Speaking at City Hall, he promised "to strain every sinew to help build a better, brighter future for London".

Sounds like a great outcome for London, less traffic, fewer cars, less pollution, more cheap housing for the immigrant workforce. Hopefully he will look into the carbon footprint of the police service too. I know the majority are very interested in these topics.

Well it might be closer than I thought

Lets hope Sadiq doesn't win as London will become one big cycle lane

Damn. Gets my vote.

See didn't I tell you he was sensible?

Extinction Rebellion, Black Lives Matter, Defund the Police, and increased congestion and pollution taxes.

Nah we just want a Mayor we can mostly ignore.

Shakes hands with all members of society regardless of religion (unlike his former party leader).

Doesn't look like pillock and get himself trapped on a zip wire.

And what is it that the people of London want?

They wanna be free, they wanna be free to do what they wanna do
And they wanna get loaded and they wanna have a good time

Khan is going to win, there's no doubt about that. He knows what the people of London want and is delivering it to them.

Lol - Count Binface should have put in a mini manifesto. Maybe they did and it didn't meet editorial guidelines
