Sadiq Khan’s at it again with his latest genius plan: let prisoners jump the housing queue. Speaking at a Times conference yesterday, London’s Mayor bemoaned the “big shortage of housing in London” and proposed his brilliant fix – give criminals a head start. Khan argued we need an “honest conversation” about letting some prisoners “jump in the queue to get housing to avoid them reoffending again.” Handing out houses to freed criminals isn’t exactly the magic fix to stop prisons from overflowing…
Nigel Farage was quick to blast the Mayor, tweeting: “Sadiq Khan wants free housing for criminals and illegal migrants. And he wants you to pay for it all.” Prioritising criminals over hard-working, law-abiding citizens. That’ll go down well with the public, no doubt…
Former leader of the SNP in Westminster Ian Blackford told Times Radio why he believes Nicola Sturgeon’s claim that she spent no time in the kitchen and therefore didn’t see any of her husband’s purchases:
“She doesn’t have a passion for cooking.”
