The crime and policing section shows that crime has been rising in London since Khan took office. While this is true up to 2019, for the past 4 years it has been falling - the homicide rate in particular has tailed off. The worst that has been in recent years was in 2003 (216 victims). In 2016 it was 116, 2019 it peaked at 153 (of which 94 were stabbings), 2022 was 110 (70 stabbings).

I'd like to add another concern about this section: the claim about antisemitic crimes is misleading and inaccurate. The news story is referring to the period 1-18 October 2023 (compared to the same period in 2022), which includes the immediate aftermath of the Hamas attack on 7 October and the beginning of the Israeli bombardment. I've only just set up my account so can't edit - I'm neither a fan nor opponent of Khan, but given that many people will be visiting this page after his re-election was announced yesterday, I really think this should be changed.

Also (I will try to find time to return and attempt this when I have editing rights) the solution to the concern about the crime rates (which now also appear not to have been updated for 5 years) might be to replace the text with a clear and simple table, so readers don't need to decode any narrative/interpretative presentation.

In 2009, Khan referred to moderate Muslims as "Uncle Toms", a derogatory label for a person of an oppressed minority who betrays them to benefit from their oppressors. [1] In 2016, Khan said "I regret using the phrase...and I am sorry." [2] "...the context is this: I was a Communities Minister.. and we want to talk to everyone - even those that are offside as well as those that are onside."NotQualified (talk) 00:16, 10 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
