“I will be running again to be the Mayor, yes – that’s the first time I’ve said that publicly,” he said.

Sadiq’s first term as Mayor has been one characterised by violent crime and disaster, presiding over a period of just more than a year that included the London Bridge, Westminster and Finsbury Park mosque attacks, as well as the fire at Grenfell Tower.
Since, a spate of stabbings in 2018 has seen London’s murder rate at times exceed that of New York.
