    Fine by me. Bring it on.

    If that's the way you want it, the rest of us will cut off your gas and electricity, and block any imports of food into the capital at your self declared border.

        How would this work? Would there be border patrols on M25 exits to ensure those with London visas can't escape into the rest of the UK? Or is the air of London superiority so strong they honestly believe those on London visas would never want to leave?

        Whatever, Sadiq Khan has proven over the past few weeks that he is a total plum.

          If there is any substance to it at all (and it is the Express), then it refers to Kahn's belief that London (and particularly City) concerns will be favoured in any work permit regime that would follow a hard Brexit.

            Sadiq Khan is one of the very few impressive high-profile individuals remaining in the Labour Party. If there were more like him, I might be a supporter.

              If they devolve some visa powers to London and don't for Scotland (which really really needs more migrants than "full" England), it'll be like the Tories are stoking grievances (or chips on both shoulders as Michael White might say in his periodic baiting of the Jocks) on purpose.

                  Khan's after more substantial devolution powers across the board. Interested in the Southern rail franchise too.

                    Any suspicion he might have an ounce of competence or sense just evaporated

                      He's interested in every route around London. The Overground franchise owner (LOROL) just won the top prize in my rail magazine.
