Under Sadiq Khan's leadership the police are catching sexual offenders half as often as when he became Mayor. Victims are denied justice. Survivors denied closure. And it's the criminals who go on to offend again and again.
According to Baroness Casey's report into the Met last year, while 18 per cent of sexual offences resulted in sanctions in 2015/16 - Boris Johnson's last year as mayor - the clear-up rate had reduced to nine per cent by 2022/23.
Rob's determination to fix the Met Police and get on top of crime in the capital is essential. I know Rob is on course for a fantastic result and will challenge the mayor all the way.
Sources close to Mr Khan have previously argued he is tackling crime with one hand tied behind his back, in the face of over 1bn of Tory austerity cuts to cops and youth services, while adding that he would welcome the Lib Dems joining him in making the case for the Government to properly fund our police.
