It’s been another frightening week in London. 

With four people stabbed in just 42 hours and a fifth person a day later, it is clear that the streets of the nation’s capital are not safe under the current Mayor Sadiq Khan.

The truth is this: on his watch, our city has become a lawless, dangerous place for its citizens.

One incident even included a Metropolitan Police officer being attacked by an individual armed with a knife in Enfield, leaving residents of our great city asking the same question: when will the escalating cycle of violence stop?

It’s little wonder that these are the problems we’re facing. The mayor has closed 37 police stations since he came to power in 2016. 

In the past 10 years, the average distance of Londoners to their nearest police station has doubled from 1.4km to 3.1km, with the effect being that there has been a persistent increase in violent crimes of around 11%.

A recent study by the Centre for Economic Policy Research concluded that “higher distances [to a station] lowers police deterrence, and therefore increases the incidence of high-severity crimes”, highlighting the direct correlation between the Mayor’s laissez-faire attitudes towards policing and the epidemic of violence we face across the city.

Under his leadership, the Met has also consistently struggled to recruit enough police officers, with many insiders highlighting that the lack of support from the Mayor was a fundamental part of the issue.

It’s why we need a new type of politician; one who wants to support our brave police officers, and re-open our closed police stations. A politician who has a fully costed plan to deploy 10,000 new police officers to our streets and a vision to provide positive pathways for people to start addressing the causes of crime.

On May 2nd, it’s time to vote for me, Brian Rose and the London Real Party.
