London Mayor Sadiq Khan has hailed the start of the off-peak Friday fares scheme across the Tube and bus networks, aiming to make travel more affordable. Concurrently, Khan has highlighted the success of London's clean air initiatives, noting significant reductions in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollution levels since 2016, with a 65% decrease in central London, 53% in inner London, and 45% in outer London. These efforts have been supported by the expansion of the ULEZ clean air zone, leading to the fastest improvement in air quality in the UK and cutting harmful roadside nitrogen dioxide pollution in half to achieve the lowest annual levels on record. Khan attributes these achievements to bold actions taken to address toxic air pollution, ensuring cleaner air for all Londoners and stating that every Londoner should be proud of the ULEZ effects ahead of the mayoral election. However, criticisms have emerged regarding Khan's tenure as Police and Crime Commissioner, with claims of surging knife crime, increasing red tape, and the closure of nightlife venues. Critics argue that Khan's policies, along with his 'woeful tzar' Amy Lame, have negatively impacted London's nightlife and public safety, contributing to a confidence crisis among the public and frontline officers.
It’s time for Sadiq Khan and his woeful “tzar” Amy Lame to face the music. Khan’s mayoralty has destroyed London’s once great nightlife. Knife crime is surging, red tape is stifling, bars and restaurants are closing. My article on how to fix this mess👇 https://t.co/EkJtB9toRE

Sadiq Khan's London. https://t.co/DRIxhv8N0N
Sadiq Khan has been Police and Crime Commissioner for 8 years in London. If you want to know why the Met faces a confidence crisis from both the public and frontline officers, look no further than its leadership. Totally incompetent and hiding from responsibility, as always.
