From The Telegraph:
Sadiq Khan blamed the cost of living crisis for the crimewave sweeping London as police faced a backlash over a recent spate of murders...
“Before the summer holidays began, the police, myself and others were warning about what we’ve seen in previous summers – we have seen an increase in violent crime and the cost of living crisis exacerbates this,” he said, “Why? Because one of the complex causes of crime is deprivation, poverty, lack of opportunities and so forth."
The 'crime wave' started shortly he took over as London Mayor six years ago. Why not blame Brexit, global warming and the war in Ukraine? At least he can't blame 'the obesity epidemic', which he claims to have single-handedly solved - based on the most made-up statistics ever.
And it's "I", not "myself" in that context, so he's either pretentious or badly educated or both.

Sadiq Khan - does he actually believe the crap he spouts?

I don't think he is that stupid, but he thinks enough voters are to make it worth a try.
And he's probably right, sigh.
AKH, T, I doubt it. His voters are in London and see stabbing headlines every other day. It's a macho thing in certain cultures, nothing to with weather, poverty, boredom or anything like that.
Sad Dick Khan't is definitely part of the problem. He is a left wing muslim who is unable to see the faults in anyone left wing, or muslim. Surrounding himself with others of the same view allows him to remain where he is, instead of prison, or employed in a job more akin to his talents - probably something where he ends every sentence with, would you like fries with that? ".
The Tower Hamlets residents and Islington elite will no doubt vote him back in.
Can't wait for the film, Escape from Londonistan".
P, woah! I'm not slagging him off for being Muslim any more than I slag off Liz Truss for being white. Khan is useless and full of crap, that's the point, let him hang himself with his own bullshit.
As to voters, I assume that Labour and Tories have a side-deal where they take it in turns, two goes each, at next election, the incumbent side puts up a rubbish candidate (Goldsmith? Bailey?) and the other lot gets two goes.
It might well be that Labour's rubbish candidate in 2024 is Khan himself...
Looking back in history to the great depression times there was not a massive outbreak of knife crime when people were very, very poor owing to the economic crash. No Mr. Khan, it is the London demographic that changed radically with the immigration of all these third world, uncivilised primitives. That is why we have such disgusting levels not just of knife crime but crime in general in London.
Looking back in history to the great depression times there was not a massive outbreak of knife crime when immigration levels were very high too. What has changed radically is the ethos of society. Then people thought "what should I do here?". Now people think "what can I get away with doing here". That change comes from the top, but, of course, those at the top don't want people thinking that. They might start to be blamed for what is going wrong. Much better that people blame immigration instead. Let the poor fight the even poorer while those at the top grind all their noses in the dirt.
