Sadiq Khan stands accused by Reform UK of presiding over a city that puts foreign nationals ahead of Londoners, a damning indictment reported by the Daily Express. This fierce attack comes as the Mayor urged voters to back Labour in tomorrow's local council elections.

Khan's call to action, published in a national newspaper, saw him blame previous governments for failing councils and launch a broadside against Nigel Farage's Reform UK. However, Reform swiftly hit back, asserting that "the last thing Londoners need is more Labour in London," directly challenging the Mayor's narrative.

A Reform spokesman, speaking to the Daily Express, laid bare their accusations: "[Labour's] record is one of rampant crime, extortionate house prices, and a city that puts foreign nationals ahead of Londoners." They further stated that Reform councils would "fight tooth and nail to protect our Green Belt, help young Londoners get on the housing ladder, crack down on crime, and finally put Londoners first."

This dramatic exchange highlights the deep divisions ahead of the polls, with Reform painting a bleak picture of London under Labour leadership. For ordinary Londoners struggling with the cost of living and concerns over safety, these claims from Reform cut right to the core of their daily experience, directly contradicting the Mayor's reassurances.

As Londoners head to the ballot boxes tomorrow, May 7th, they will weigh Khan's claims of a "fairer, greener, safer, and more prosperous place for everyone" against Reform's stark warning that Labour's record is one of failure and misdirected priorities.
