Not in Crawley Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 1 hour ago, boltondiver said: Interesting to hear an insight from a local resident. What are the downsides of Khan? Policy errors? Well as I say, the outer London tax is a personal pain, Transport and ongoing commuting costs - how will the city cope when people aren't coming in in the same numbers, our office is moving to 20% of time in the office over 2 weeks. That will effect lots of local businesses and can we get reduced carne cards for part time travel or something. Housing and landlords, we need more affordable housing and London rents are stupid there should be more controls over this, otherwise the city will only be able to be enjoyed by the rich in a way Berlin isn't, and he doesn't favour rent freezes but he does favour rent control, lets see if this comes to pass, and overregulation has frozen the building of new houses - although its still on course to deliever more than Johnson in his 8 years. He's too 'Labour' in that he attacks the government, that isn't the role of mayor - its working with all parties in central government to get the best deal for Londoners. Green blet reform needs looking at. But also its an election, so you have to look at who the other candidate is, and Bailey is an absolute no hoper. His pamplets contained loads of errors that made him look foolish, stupid and if not duplicitous and a liar, his coments on women were misguided. Even a competent challanger would have faced a tough battle against Khan, but this guy shouldn't be in the running which is why Kahn is going to win by a considerabale margin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they lose Hartlepool, it will be messy for Starmer to get out of this. Who's the next favourite for leader, is there actually anybody who would want the job ? Bit of a poisoned chalice at present. Well it depends if the Corbynites decide to challange him on poor local elections enough to force a leadership contest. I doubt they will but its a possibility.

Youri McAnespie Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Tory scum will ride the Union Jack brigade like a knackered old horse, stabbing the blinkered working classes in the arse all the way like Jeff Bridges in True Grit... Then, when they lie dying they'll be all 'Power to the People' with their last breaths. It'll be too late. But you'll have pissed off Emma Thompson and Owen Jones so it'll all have been worth it.
