Prevent the London Mayor from using his office to make political statements

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Such acts are damaging to our country and Khan has no right to `speak` on behalf of the people of this country. Such behaviour incites unrest and the possibility of disorder.
Prevent the London Mayor from using his office to make political statements such as granting permission to allow anti President Trump inflatables being flown over London. It is not the remit of a Mayor to act in a way that is detrimental to our nation.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. The Mayor of London is accountable to the London Assembly.
