Is Sadiq Khan the worst ever Mayor of London? Pay attention there may be a test later.
Probably not - Sir Nicolas Brembre (d1388) - good mate of of Richard II, is definitely a contender for the title - He ran London like a mafia Don - murder, torture, corruption, electoral fraud, blackmail and intimidation was his modus operandi. He made Tony Soprano look like a choirboy.
Eventually he went a step too far and was accused of treason - he fled to Wales but was captured and imprisoned in Gloucester .then moved to the Tower. Found guilty of Treason he requested trial by combat which was his right as a Knight - but this was refused and they hanged him instead.
Cor Blimey guvnor what a complete Berk (Berkshire Hunt) Brembre was.

Sadly, the choice in politics is led by which of Labour or Conservative do you least want to win, and you go from there.
Is the Mayoral Election still an Alternative vote system. I am sure when I lived in London you ranked you candidates in order.

Exports to the EU dropped by 40% in January and the economy shrank by 2.9%. Imports shrank by 28.8%.
Economy 9% smaller than it was pre-pandemic.
horrendously biased garbage.
the thing is, i probably lean centre right, maybe centre left the older i getā¦every so often they stumble on a point i kinda maybe kinda can see a reason to agree withā¦
but oyu cantā¦you just cant let Bolt, Jones or Murray enter your psycheā¦ thin end of the wedge type stuffā¦
Paul Murray is pretty close to an actual parodyā¦wickedly clever comedy/tremendously bias cliche shiteā¦i dont actually knowā¦its that badā¦its so bad even @Klopptomist would blushā¦

Can anyone remind me what was the prediction in the drop in economy? 9% feels larger than what was predicted from memory.

I saw this which puts a different angle on it. Never watched the show, so not that bothered except by the idea of an āanti-woke unitā 
Itās more likely to be because itās rubbish tbh

Weirdly though itās one of the few comedy shows that has a right of centre comedian (Geoff Norcott) as a regular. Unless itās being axed so as to give him his own show, I donāt see this as being motivated out of any bias towards patriotic conservatism.

Havenāt checked the viewing figures but the impression I get from people talking about imply itās quite popular. The suggestion it is about the ability to monetize makes a lot of sense - particularly if the government are looking at cutting funding.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: āFreedom of speech and a free press are at the very core of our democracy, and journalists must be able to go about their work without being threatened.
āThe cowardly attacks and abuse directed at reporters for simply doing their job cannot continue.
āThis action plan is just the start of our work to protect those keeping the public informed, and defend those holding the government to account.ā
One day ( and this isnāt unique to Labour by any means) somebody will actually say āYes, I stand by that comment, he/she is a @@@@ā
