    I know we go on about Keir Starmer being lucky in his opponents, but is any politician in the world luckier than Sadiq Khan?

        Thanks! I do think Khan’s a drag on Labour’s vote in the city and comparing these two polls suggests I’m right. He’s certainly never outperformed what you’d expect from ‘human with a Labour rosette’ and is arguably now underperforming.

            I’m 100% going to vote for Khan anyway, to be clear!

            My issue with him is that I feel like he lacks distinctiveness. Other than the hopper fair, what policies has he really brought to the table? He did manage to eventually get rid of Cressida Dick, which was good. And I’m happy with the expansion of bike lanes and LTNs (I’d like them to go further), but those were pretty much baked in by his predecessor or enforced by the Government. On the negative side, there was Silvertown, a disaster waiting to happen which he could’ve prevented.

            Obviously, the mayoral role is pretty powerless, but he could use the soapbox better, IMO.
