Imagine your elation at the news. It’s almost a week from now, round about midnight on Friday, and the cameras are crossing to City Hall, London , where the votes have finally been counted.
The people of the UK capital have voted to evict the high-crime, high-tax, do-nothing Mayor Khan. They have voted for an end to the persecution of motorists and the indulgence of knife-wielding gangsters. No more wokery from City Hall, a lefty finger-wagging culture so pervasive that the Khan mayoralty simultaneously discourages Metropolitan Police Officers from stopping and searching for knives, while encouraging the police to tell a Jewish man — as they did on film last week — that he could not walk the King’s highway because his very appearance might cause offence.

Why the hell are we waiting to give this heroic nation the weapons it needs? So my answer is yes: you bet it can happen. An upset is always possible, because Londoners are both savvy and mercurial. This election is always decided by differential turn-out. If enough Tories remember to vote, and enough Labour voters are washing their hair, then Khan could indeed be about to get the biggest shock of his life — and for a good and simple reason.
As for Khan, he has postured and sermonised and followed lefty nostrums about stop and search — and the result seems to be that knife crime is up, violent crime is way, way up, and, as I have sadly reported before in this column, there is a view around the world that London is not now as safe as it once was.I was a Tory Mayor under a Labour government — and I never once tried to blame Tony Blair or Gordon Brown for the problems of crime in London.
Above all we helped to ensure that London lengthened its lead as the greatest city on earth — with the number one financial and tech sector in Europe — and the most popular tourist destination.
