Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 20h

Last year, we reached the lowest per capita homicide rate in recorded history - not by chance, but as a result of our tough action on violent crime and our preventative approach.

We’re on the right path. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Sorry, Trump and Farage – London is no lawless ‘warzone’. Violent crime is lower than ever | Sadiq Khan

Reform’s new candidate for mayor claims people pity Londoners for living in an unsafe capital. But the evidence is clear: we’re making our streets safer, says mayor of London Sadiq Khan

This guy is making such important points that I don't think are discussed enough

The wearing of masks by law enforcement is deeply suspect

It reinforces the view that ICE is actually a paramilitary force operating for Trump within the borders of the US

There is no evidence that the officer who shot the woman was injured at ALL, despite Trump’s claim here that he is “recovering in the hospital.”

Immediately after the shooting you can see him walking completely normally, and he stayed on the scene for a while before driving off.

Marco Rubio seems to be playing a crucial role in the new US imperialism

Since his key target is Cuba, I can only assume that the endless chat about Greenland is some form of misdirection

Blatant and brazen extortion

Trump is behaving like a mafia boss

We shouldn't get distracted by discussions about ideology

Boosting Venezuela’s oil output by 500,000 barrels a day would cost $10bn and take 2 yrs

Raising production to 1.5mn barrels of oil a day (from current 1mn) would produce 550mn tons of CO2 a year

That's more CO2 than is emitted by countries like UK & Brazil
