The battle to be mayor of London hotted up today as Sadiq Khan was challenged over violent crime in the capital.
Tory Shaun Bailey, the incumbent Mr Kahn s main challenger, unveiled plans for an extra 8,000 police officers and 4,000 youth workers as he blasted his rival s record.
At the same time Mr Khan pledged an extra £30million per year to fund 1,000 new officers, ahead of May s election in which he is the favourite to win a second term.
He repackaged Tony Blair s slogan as he pledged to be tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime , amid a spate of stabbings in London in recent days.
London mayor Sadiq Khan laughed at Priti Patel today as he tore into her record as Home Secretary.
The Labour politician was asked on Good Morning Britain whether he had full confidence in Ms Patel after she failed to back the head of the Metropolitan Police in an interview last week.
His response was to stop and chuckle before laying into the senior minister. I don t like to be discourteous or impolite to colleagues, even from other parties, he said. I think Priti Patel s track record as a Home Sec won t be a great one in relation to what she s not done to address some of the concerns we had around the hostile environment, I think she has not addressed the concerns we have got in relation to our borders, I think the quarantine policies have been a big failure and I don t think she has given the police the resources they need.
LAURA KUENNSBERG has suggested the Government plans to make Brits quarantine in hotels should they travel from high risk countries in the latest coronavirus rule change.
