Surge in Six-Figure Pen-Pushers
LONDON mayor Sadiq Khan is facing backlash as City Hall sees a surge in bureaucrats earning over £100,000, with numbers soaring from 655 to 1,146 in just one year.
Outcry Over Spending
Last month, Khan faced criticism for spending £6m on renaming London overground lines, with new names like the "Liberty Line" and "Suffragette Line", sparking accusations of "virtue signalling nonsense" and a waste of taxpayer money.
Defending the Moves
A spokesman for Khan defended the high salaries, stating that as the mayor of a major city, competitive salaries are necessary. Khan himself praised the renaming as a way to celebrate London's history and culture.
Opposition Response
Tory mayoral candidate Susan Hall criticized the renaming as a needless expense, adding fuel to the fire over Khan's decisions at City Hall.
