I think this is the right place for this question.
I am trying to understand the reality behind the heat that Khan gets for knife crime in London.
I read people saying that he has not done enough all the time. I've tried to identify what he has the power to do and what he hasn't done that is within his power to address the problem.
I've asked quite a few of his critics and nobody has been able to give me an example of a single thing that he could be doing that he isn't doing already.
Knife crime is rising more slowly in London than in other UK cities but their mayors don't seem to get the same heat that he does. What am I missing? Lets not cover the racism side because that is clearly part of it for some people.
What could Sidiq Khan be doing to tackle knife crime in London that he isn't doing now?
