'He's more interested in banning pizza ads': Truss and Sunak take aim at Sadiq Khan over 'appalling' London crime

The Tory leadership contenders faced one another in the final Tory leadership hustings, hosted by LBC.

"Because on his watch, if you look at the record - there’s nothing inevitable about this - if you look at the record of the previous administration of one Boris Johnson… I think the murder rate halved." "If you remember, Nick, when the current Prime Minister was Mayor of London, he did a very good job of tackling crime.

The spokesperson accused Ms Truss of "making wild accusations about Sadiq" while having "nothing to say on how she would help ordinary families who are desperately worried during this cost of living crisis".

suemcdonald342 If London’s crime stats weren’t so dreadful they wouldn’t have anything to attack him over. Khan has responsibility for the financial management of TfL & strategic oversight of the policing of London. He’s bankrupted TfL & allowed crime to spiral out of control in the capital.

Excellent well done to them

suemcdonald342 WEF panto.

There isn't a major city in the UK that doesn't have crime stats. They're anti mayor because he is anti them. Back to the days of Red Ken .... unhelpful if somewhat entertaining!

suemcdonald342 If you all think that the rag tag team that are going to replace him will make a difference you are sadly 😥 mistaken...This man was the last of the great Prime Ministers (a Visionary) who wasn't given a chance... you will all reap what you sow....

About time that prick needs calling out. Absolute scum destroying our capital

DCBMEP Both were in cabinet, with every opportunity of ousting him. They choose now to 'move their lips', when seeking election. I am done with the nonsense. Watch nothing change no matter who squats in No-10. 🙄👀

DCBMEP But both refused to depoliticise control by a Mayor, and this mayor which rank and file officers voted no confidence in. They seek to maintain a control that has no place in the police relationship with parliament and the people

Good for them that guy is a public enemy number one before he destroyed anything else stop this weasel

May be they both should ask Teresa May why she cut down the police numbers 🤨🤨🤓🤓

Blistering? Sadiq’ll be pissing himself laughing.

Could this be more scapegoating and distraction politics?

In 2021 Birmingham had 8 more murders than London. Birmingham is 1/8th of the size of London. But nothing about Andy Street. These people are contemptible. ToryScum
