either that or Khan's a bit of a princess.
Do you think the MP Mike Freer is also "a bit of a princess" for giving up politics due to death threats? What a strange position to have.Criticism doesn't always mean you hold the opposite position.

Threats can deter perfectly good candidates from stepping forward into public service.
It's double difficult for Independents who lack the funding / support from political parties.
Seems like a sensible policy

You can use unexplained wealth orders, but the wealth is pretty clear. The funds wern't under sanction at the time, completed AML/KYC etc. You can freeze assets to prevent a sale, but you cant buy them anyway as you are dealing with a sanctioned entity.

Yachts and bank accounts were frozen. Why would you then not apply that to property they own as well?You can use unexplained wealth orders, but the wealth is pretty clear.

A yacht can be moved to somewhere without sanctions
A bank transfer can move funds outside the UK
very hard to move a property... They also cant sell it as people cant give them funds, lawyers cant kyc, etc etc
you can read the sanction act:

Yes! The cheek of the man article said:
City Hall suggested 4,000 homes could be built with the proceeds from selling Kremlin-linked property in the capital.
Rishi is in a lot of trouble if Susan Hall is also backing Sadiq Khan. Fair play to her.

Took her long enough though.https://www.standard.co.uk/comment/sadiq-khan-the-...
All the other Tory Assembly members came out very quickly denouncing Lee Anderthal’s comments but I guess she was waiting to see how the wind was blowing before backing Khan.

But that doesn't make it a huge problem per se. Otherwise, what are we going to do about lightning strikes.
https://casinoalpha.com/blog/chances-of-getting-stabbed-in-london/12,000 stabbings last year. Maybe 1 or 2 lightning strikes in London. Not in the same ballpark, not even the same sport.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't try and deal with it, and I don't think Khan has had much success at all in tackling it.

Piers is a loon. Not just that, he’s the loons loon. He’s so far off the reservation that smoke signals will no longer reach him.
And in that most Londoners would not have heard of him and it’s a good way for him to lose his deposit.
He has zero chance.
If you think he will split the left vote then you’d also be wrong. Had the Tories fielded a credible candidate then maybe, just maybe they’d be in with the shot but they haven’t so they won’t.
