Sadiq Khan has been London’s best Mayor for many years. In contrast shagger Johnson is best forgotten.
this kind of obviously biased headline is so frustrating when MSM is fighting for credibility
1) New Year’s Honours list is nominated by public not by political leaders
2) Khan has won three elections so the average Londoner clearly doesn’t think he’s a failure
