    I'm assuming Khan will win the London Mayoralty by a large majority. Can't say I've been overly impressed. He just seems fairly ineffectual.

    Knife crime is one area I really wanted to see change but kids are still running around stabbing each other to death every week. Break ins, car thefts are rampant but you won't get any real support from the cops other than a reference number for your insurance.

    Transport and Crime have been on his platform since elected and both are getting gradually worse. Anyway I'll throw my vote to the Lib Dems and Porritt, I would genuinely be delighted if she won but I've better chance winning Euromillions.
    I don't live in London so can't comment about how good Khan is or isn't, but bear in mind that he doesn't control the Police and doesn't set the budgets for TFL. So I imagine it's hard for a Labour mayor when the national government has different Tory-led priorities.
