Pay rises for Sadiq Khan's top team
Why not ey..!
With London going soooo well, it makes sense Sadiq Khan’s top team has recently been given nearly £50,000 in pay rises (£48,541 total from the info I have available).
Those who received pay rises are:
Jules Pipe CBE, Deputy Mayor, Planning, Regeneration and the Fire Service (from £147,770 to £151,465)
Justine Simons OBE, London’s Deputy for Culture (from £147,770 to £151,465)

Nadeem Javaid MBE, Mayoral Director, Global Relations and Communities (£147,770 to £151,465)
You’ve probably never heard of most of these people, but I’ll give you a little sample. There’s…
Howard Dawber (third man from the left), who accompanied Sadiq Khan on his trade mission to Africa…
Debbie Weekes-Bernard and Tom Copley (below centre), who recently gave away Islington’s social housing to “sanctuary seekers”…
Mete Coban MBE, who faked a football career…
Justine Simons OBE, who curates the GHASTLY Fourth Plinth, which she describes as “the most successful artistic commission in the world”…
… and Kaya Comer-Schwartz…
… who was unable to answer Susan Hall, Leader of City Hall Conservatives, when she asked if there are grooming gangs in London. Watch the excruciating clip here.
I think we can all agree these people need a pay rise.
NOT!
If DOGE UK had its way they would all be gone, along with the useless jet-setting Mayor…

A lot of these people wouldn't get jobs in the real world/private sector even at a quarter of these insane salaries, if at all. Political appointments for regime apparatchiks.
A list of fourteen positions, of which nine are titled 'Deputy' and three are 'Assistant'.
Apart from having meetings to decide when they should have their next meeting, what do they do all day long?
