Daily quote by Sadiq Khan

• My wife and children can't open the door because they never know who is going to be behind it. I can't spontaneously decide to go see my mum, I've got to let the police know. I want to go back to normality; I miss it. I miss just being able to go out to the corner shop without police protection. I certainly hope I won't need protection for the rest of my life.
  • On the risks to his personal safety and those of his family, as cited in Susannah Butter and Ross Lyall "Mayor of London Sadiq Khan: I Miss Living a Normal Life But That's Not Safe, Something Needs to Change", Evening Standard (21 October 2021)
  • Comments following the murder of Sir David Amess, MP, almost a week earlier. Khan also mentioned the murder of Jo Cox (in June 2016) and the attempted murder of Stephen Timms (in May 2010), both also MPs.
