MP for the Cities of London & Westminster, Nickie Aiken, spoke out with the Prime Minister against rising levels overseen by the Labour Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan.
During her question with the Prime Minister, Nickie said,
"On a recent visit to Pimlico, in my constituency, the Prime Minister heard directly from local people concerned about the eye-watering rise in violent crime and robberies. Does my Rt. Hon Friend agree with me that the London Labour Mayor has failed to take advantage of extra government funding to recruit more police, and on the 2nd of May, Londoners can send him a very clear message; he's let them down."
The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak MP, replied,
"Sadiq Khan is failing London. While burglary is down across England, it's up in London. Violent crime, down across England, but up in London. And the Labour Mayor is the only one of 43 Police and Crime Commissioners to have missed his police recruitment target. Londoners will have a chance to cast their vote on the 2nd of May, and I hope that they kick him out because we all know they'll be safer with Susan Hall."
