The illegal water cannons, the ridiculous unbuilt garden bridge, they rewarded him by making him party leader, they'd probably be better off keeping their traps shut Don’t forget the bendy buses that couldn’t manoeuvre the routes… |

Think it speaks volumes about the values of the parties - Johnsons headline schemes that failed were just publicity grabbing rubbish that cost money & helped no one. Khan on the other hand has provided free school meals and improved air quality - the rise in knife crime is awful but it ain't only London is it |

Without labouring a point, Sadiq Khan previously beat Shaun Bailey. I wonder if Bailey was rewarded at all for failure to even win.
