No. He doesn't.

He does however have responsibility for assisting the Met. Since he controls their budget

Is he not doing that then?

bd only gave them an additional £27 million this year, wow, he really is going out of his way to not assist them.

In the same time frame. Mayor Khan has increased TFL's budget by £960M though. (and the overall budget grew by about £1bn) So he chose/decided where he wanted to spend the extra money and it wasn't on MOPAC

so I think as a follower of such religion, if he were to sit for office tomorrow, it is possible less people would vote for him.

So essentially, a yes then, if a bit long winded. We've had this before on this very thread. I'm no Sadiq Khan fanboy but the fact is he's the absolute model of what waves of people on this board constantly moan about - the integrated, patriotic British muslim who's stood time & time again for election, backed himself with the public you mention & succeeded in doing so.

It's you who have explicitly equated that man with these wkers because they share a religion. That's the whole of your thinking if you can call it that & its bks mate.

So let me get this right the Met last night had a crap response to last nights out rage due to khan not giving them the resources to eliminate a threat in 8 minutes, which by any standard is a fantastic response time.

unbelievable

Isn't it Teresa May's fault? She's PM.

Right! Since you're all being disingenuous and are determined to defend Khans inability to spend money on the Police when he has the remit to do so. But then hes spent rather too much of his professional legal career suing the Met before he joined Labour so this doesn't surprise.

The fact that with an increase of budget by roughly a third he chose to spunk nearly all of it on TFL. And I suspect a lot of that was on Tube driver pay increases....

This is not about criticising the MET's actions last night in any way. This is a bout giving them the additional resources they need now we are in another era of terrorism.

This is about putting more money into the Met. They can then spend the money on people following the relevant people. Seems the problem is they haven't got the resources to keep tabs on everyone, if they had an extra £400M of that extra 900. It would be a help surely?

I'm not sure it's one or the other tbh. But more staff/resources is only going to help.

Hopkins' tweet last night was more in response to Khan's comment of "Terrorism is part and parcel of living in a big city" from last year than an observation about budget amounts.

Could you be anymore stupid? Money spent on the Police has nothing to do with the Mayor and everything to do with the Govt.

Some of the budget is set at national level, some is funded by Council Tax.

According to the link below central govt cut the Met Police budget, Khan increased it.

Keeping tabs on people is the task of MI5, funded by central govt,not the job of the Met,no doubt they have had their budget cut..

I would have to agree. The spittle-flecked post quotient is going through the roof.

Poor old Rich, he'll jump through any number of hoops to keep up his wrath of Khan. You lot aren't the first to skewer it & I doubt you'll be the last.

Only facts suggest otherwise. You can read the report at London.gov.uk

Even the overly concerned with presentation, Khan wouldn't claim to have upped the budget if he had nothing to do with it.


I helpfully linked to it. As ever you believe you know everything, when in actual fact, you are an imbecile. Why are the stupid so full of confidence?

You shouldn't have called me a wker in the "Do you know this cyclist" thread, Dumb dumb. Things kind of escalated from there.

I'm astonished that he can blame Khan. Hell, even David Cameron's former Tory aide Steve Hilton is today calling for Mrs May to resign over her cutting of 20,000 police officers whilst at the Home Office.

http://news.sky.com/story/theresa-may-under-pressu...

Mrs May herself said: "The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police has said that the Met is well-resourced, and they are, and that they have very powerful counter-terrorism capabilities, and they do, we have protected counter-terrorism policing budgets.

"We have also provided funding for an increase in the number of armed police officers since 2015. We have protected our all police budgets."

So nobody is blaming Khan except Rich.
