Sadiq Khan's final budget as mayor shows he has the wrong priorities for London. Instead of making savings, Khan chose to increase his share of council tax by 9.5 per cent and protect his wasteful spending.
Worse still, the mayor's refusing to take responsibility for his decision by claiming he had "no choice" but to make Londoners pay more. This simply isn't true - the mayor did have a choice and the Conservative Group at City Hall presented it to him.
