Sadiq Khan, mayor of London, and the New Year s Eve fireworks display over the O2 Arena. Sadiq Khan and a Tory London Assembly member have clashed over the £1.5 million spent on the capital s New Year s Eve fireworks, whilst the display has drawn criticism over its political nature. Conservative Cllr Tony Devenish called the pyrotechnic and light display pathetic during a London Assembly budget and performance committee meeting on Tuesday. The London Mayor responded by accusing Mr Devenish of embarrassing flip-flopping after the councillor previously called the cancellation of fireworks a hammer blow. The £1.5 million New Year s Eve display saw a number of light projections fill the sky over the O2 Arena, with one showing the NHS logo in a heart while a child s voice said: Thank you NHS heroes.
