On May 6th Londoners head to the polls to elect their new mayor, but it seems the result might already be near certain. Khan (the incumbent) has a significant lead so we discuss his achievements & his plans for a second term. We also discuss his opponents (including a chat with YouTuber and candidate Max Fosh) and debate if the victory really is in the bag.

    Seems like there are a lot of Brian Rose fans in the comments getting angry he wasn't mentioned. We wanted to take this video to focus on the incumbent and his odds of winning. As Bailey is the only legitimate threat he's the only other person we outlined in relation to Khan.

    We're considering doing a more comprehensive candidate rundown, at which point we would reference Rose, he just wasn't relevant in this context. Even in a full rundown video we probably won't discuss Rose much as he doesn't stand much/any chance of winning. Despite the posturing from his supporters in the comments, there's no legitimate polling that suggests he's going to get his deposit back, let alone win.

    TLDR; Rose wasn't relevant in this video as we wanted to focus on Khan. We may discuss him in the future, but let's be real (whether you like his policies or not) he's not going to win

    More evidence that Keir is nothing more than a Tory in Labour's skin, as even a so-called "Moderate" Labour Party Mayor is at odds with him.
    Also, who thought it was a good idea to elect a knight as leader when the party has been historically republican since its founding?

    For all the people in the comments who said their favourite crazy independent candidate would win: did you ever genuinely believe that? If so, why? None of the YouTuber candidates even won back their £10,000 deposit.
