I'll be voting for Luisa Poritt as my first preference, the second goes to the lesser of two evils, Khan.
Personally I'd rather not vote for any Labour candidate, but Khan isn't a Corbynite.

Alright folks
As much as a lot of people don't like what Khan has done with the bus cuts I understand that it was an necessary evil. There was a major black hole left in the TFL organisation in which had to be clawed back.
The Crossrail fiasco had to be one of the obvious examples of a project running late. From when they said it will open by 2017/18 originally I knew straight away it wouldn't open at that time with the amount of things that had to be done from the building of stations to the signalling and to achieve safety statuses on the sites.
Shaun Bailey is a puppet man for the tories heck even his own party don't even take him seriously so how much more the main public. I'm guessing he hasn't heard the term "it's your own people". For when it comes to the screw-ups in TFL.

For when it comes to the screw-ups in TFL. Kahn could have been so innovative in coming up with creative and exciting solutions to revitalise TfL, flipping the bird to the government to say that they didn’t need them but instead he’s spent five years moaning about Brexit, funding and every other problem under the sun that is literally his job to fix. I’m not saying that there weren’t issues from central government but Kahn could have done some work to counteract funding issues. |

Alright first and foremost you've got to understand that this Crossrail system has never been done before. Having to run 3 separate signalling systems simultaneously was always going to be the biggest challenge and that was even before the building works came out. Bond Street I believe won't be open when the rest of the line opens up initially. Khan says he didn't know about the late running but again only those people really know what truly went down. |

I did say that the bus cuts were unfortunately a necessary evil given the mess Bojo left behind in 2016. |

Intrigued, as to how it was so obvious to you as you stated, and not them. |

Can you tell me what other project has ever had to run like that all at the same time. Having CBTC ETCS and TPWS all at the same time is not an easy thing to do. |

Out of all of them I like Rose best, but I need to look further into his transport manifesto.
Corbyn is far too much of a conspiracist.

If you have already mentioned this in the thread could you put the link through again? Khan's contributed an estimated £600 million black hole in TfL's finances over his tenure as Mayor. Boris has starved Londoners indirectly of a £270 million grant per annum, which is easily over a billion quid in 4 years. |

Sadiq Khan :
. He has 5 years to fix TFL financially from the mess from Boris and failed to, but made it worse with his lack of Financial and Business knowledge which led to the delay of Crossrail and the Overground takeover of the Suburban network.
. Crime rate at London is worse than New York's a for his lack of funding to the police with a well high budget claiming "the police is hurting the black people" and spends the money instead on useless luxury coffee machines and cycle lanes no one ever uses apart from cyclists doing exercise. Petal is not the issue, she came in 2019 and Khan came in 2016 he had 3 years to well fund the police with the budget he had.
. Cutting funding to youth centres which possibly leads to youth crime.
. Only built 12,000 affordable homes compare in 2016 he promised 500,000 affordable homes by 2020.
. After Grenfell, only 6 flats were renovated out of 2,000 flats needed renovating.
. When confronted by critics, he does not at least own up one problem he has done, but instead blames others for his issues.
. Lacks charisma which makes him less trustworthy and likable.
. Enforced all of those LTNs which is hurting businesses and accessible services for the less able without doing a consultation for he least.
. Extending the congestion charge for his failiers to fix up his issues which is not helping businesses especially during a economic crisis. He had no sympathy or whatsoever for businesses and called for a Tier 3 lockdown without asking for business support. Instead of taxing everyone, how about cooperate sponsorship of TFL which will keep TFL afloat for the long run.
Do you want 4 more years of poor leadership and the same thing or a new direction?

With the police its the government that has messed up not Sadiq. When may was home sec 20,000 officers were lost so you can blame him entirely for failures of the government. |
