Sadiq Khan tells rival Susan Hall 'stop watching The Wire' after she claims 'gangs run around with machetes'
Conservative mayoral candidate Susan Hall claims London's night-time workers have told her “gangs [are] running around with machetes” as she exchanged political blows with rival Sadiq Khan during a radio debate ahead of the mayoral election on May 2. Mr Khan called Ms Hall the “most dangerous candidate I have fought against” as they appeared alongside the Lib Dems and Green Party candidates Rob Blackie and Zoe Garbett to answer questions from LBC callers on a number of issues on Tuesday evening (April 23). Mr Khan is seeking a historic third term in office, having first been elected in 2016.

Mr Khan said he thought the Met was ahead of other police services across the country and praised Sir Mark for “making remarkable progress”.
