Keeping the tube prices down is a big win. It may sound quite a humble achievement, but the Tories are trying to wreck TFL. As one example, the Tories want to put ticket prices up - what's the point of a public transport system to get ordinary people to work if ordinary workers can barely afford it? Khan stands up for London and makes sure the unexciting things that keep it working, keep working

@ProblematicBitch agreed. We are supposedly one of the richest countries in the world. Rather than asking "where will the money come from?" we should be asking "where is all the countries wealth disappearing to?"

@dave4803 did stop and search ever make a noticeable difference? And what difference it did make would have been cut when the Tories cut police numbers!
