Sadiq Khan faces humiliation as Londoners say they feel the least safe and loneliest than anywhere else in the UK. The 10 constituencies in Britain where people are most likely to say they don't feel safe are all in the capital and all Labour, according to a report from the Belonging Forum, using results from an Opinium survey.
This compares to rural constituencies in the UK which dominate the top 10 of those deemed "safe". All but one are Conservative seats, the report shows.

Tory mayoral candidate Susan Hall said: "Crime has soared out of control under Sadiq Khan and yet he has nothing to offer but excuses. I am listening to Londoners and as mayor I will make our city safer."
She pledged to recruit 1,500 police officers, put two new bases in every borough, and bring back borough-based, local policing.
Ms Hall's campaign has attacked Mr Khan's record on crime, pointing to violent crime rising 33 percent, knife crime up by 54 percent, robbery soaring 49 percent, and sexual offences up by 53 percent.
Mr Khan has been approached for comment. His campaign team said separately on Monday (April 29) the election is a choice between someone "building a safer London for everyone" or a "divisive, hard-right Tory opponent" who they say has "strongly backed" police cuts.

Labour's London mayoral candidate said at an event today: "Tackling violence and making our city safer is my number one priority. As mayor, I have been both tough on violence and tough on the complex causes of violence."
On life satisfaction, Tory constituencies dominate the top 10 rankings while Labour seats languish at the bottom. Hexham tops the list with 40 percent of locals giving their lives an eight or higher for satisfaction. This compares to Labour's Queen's Park and Maida Vale on 23 percent.
Seven out of the top 10 seats where people say they feel lonely always or some of the time are in London, including Vauxhall and Camberwell Green, Lewisham North, Bermondsey and Old Southwark, Islington South and Finsbury and Hackney North and Stoke Newington, according to the report.
