In my opinion if Khan loses it will be down to ULEZ . Apart from one person , everybody else I know is against it .

ULEZ will have very little to do with it. Gaza and apathy will decide it. Hall won't increase the Tory vote

I live in Leigh-On-Sea (obviously) and knife crime is up all around the Southend area. Should I also blame Khan?
Maybe not, but you could blame Brexit.

So apathy is now defined as Labour voters staying at home because they don't support Labours position on genocide.

Starmer is to blame and should go. Maybe potential Labour voters also noticed the watering down of the comittment to strengthen workers rights in favour of capital a few days before the elections. Net result more apathy.

Mibees it's less about apathy and more about a rejection of Labour policies by workers.

A total 2,495,621 votes have been cast in the 2024 mayoral election - a turnout of 40.5%

Sadiq Khan likely to win but not by as much as the polls predicted.

The contest for London Mayor has turned very ugly. Best to avoid Twitter. Khan may not be to everybody's taste but he has conducted himself with dignity. He emerged with a lot of dugnity when he stood up to Trump.

Vote for clean air but you can pay £12.50 to pollute everyone? Yes very sensible.

Bitter eh? Dunno if you’re being deliberately dense but the £12.50 a day is to discourage drivers of older, polluting vehicles from going in to London. He could simply ban all these vehicles but that would lead to an even bigger pushback. Reckon he got it about right and this election result supports that premise.

Obviously you're right but what I meant't was as in the sense Remainers couldn't accept the 2016 referendum result .
