Summary
Robert Jenrick criticized London Mayor Sadiq Khan for allegedly worsening crime in the city, claiming he took justice into his own hands by confronting fare dodgers at Stratford station. This act was seen as political theatre rather than genuine leadership, with critics pointing out that the Conservative Party has systematically cut police resources, undermining community safety. The TSSA condemned Jenrick’s actions as ‘vigilante justice,’ emphasizing that fare evasion should be addressed by trained personnel, not politicians seeking publicity.
