Sadiq Khan, the longest-serving Mayor of London, faces severe criticism in a new report that brands his decade in office as a 'monument to failure.' The report highlights his inadequate housing record, revealing that only 2,600 of the 35,000 promised homes have been built. Additionally, since Khan's election in 2016, London has endured 150 days of strike action, costing the city billions, which contradicts his initial pledge of zero strike days. The report also notes that Londoners are now paying 80% more in the Mayor's share of Council tax, amid rising crime rates, particularly in phone theft. Susan Hall, leader of the City Hall Conservatives, lamented that Khan's leadership will be remembered as a 'forgotten, lost decade' for the city. In response, Khan's office defended his record, citing achievements such as taxpayer-funded school meals and initiatives to clean London's air, claiming these efforts demonstrate his commitment to improving life for Londoners despite the challenges faced from previous government austerity measures.
