Sadiq Khan’s third term: Mayor’s priorities for London

It’s a third term for Sadiq Khan as London’s record-breaking mayor begins a fresh tenure at City Hall - but to the background of tragedy.

Over the weekend, another Londoner’s life was lost, this time in a Bethnal Green stabbing.

So, as Khan begins his ninth year in charge of the capital, what are his priorities - and how can he match delivery with rhetoric?

The Labour incumbent, who first won power in 2016, took his third term with about 44 per cent of the vote - or just over a million of ballots cast, which was nearly 276,000 more than his Conservative challenger, Susan Hall.

Mark Blunden is joined by Evening Standard City Hall editor Ross Lydall to discuss Khan’s mayoral roadmap for his third term
