OPINION - Well done Sadiq Khan, but Susan Hall is proof the Conservatives have given up on London

I would like to congratulate Sadiq Khan for winning a momentous third term as London’s Mayor.

This should have been his greatest test — no candidate expects an increased majority a third time around, not when they’re an incumbent, and the first-past-the-post change to the voting system (introduced presumably to give the Conservatives a better chance of winning) should have made the race tighter. But in the end, not only was Khan the much better politician, but Susan Hall was the wrong choice.
