Criticism mounts against London Mayor Sadiq Khan over the financial policies and salary structures under his administration. Reports indicate that 1,146 of Khan's City Hall staff now earn salaries exceeding £100,000, a figure that has notably doubled during his tenure. This surge in high salaries comes amid concerns over increased living costs for Londoners, including a £200 council tax increase and daily ULEZ charges of £12.50. Critics, including Sir Iain Duncan Smith, accuse Khan of imposing additional financial burdens on residents and fostering a divisive atmosphere in central London. The rise in City Hall and TfL officials' salaries has sparked a debate over the efficiency and fairness of Khan's governance, especially in light of escalating crime rates and public safety concerns.
