Sadiq Khan's freebie Taylor Swift tickets were worth three times more than declared, City Hall admits
The tickets had previously been thought to have been worth £194 each, according to Mr Khan’s original entry in the City Hall register of gifts and interests...
But a spokesman for the mayor said the tickets were in fact worth £500 each - meaning the total value of the gift, which he enjoyed with his family, was £3,000...
City Hall said the failure to correctly register the tickets was a “simple case of human error”.
It possibly was a simple case of human error, but I don't understand the attraction of free Taylor Swift tickets. It's a desperately footling way to add yet another dent to a dubious political reputation.

And now you know why us old gits ay modern music is soulless and boring. It has become just another means of signalling virtue and extracting money from those who know no better. The industry is full of grifters and one set of grifters calls out to another.
DJ - it seems soulless and boring to me too, although I don't pay much attention to it. It does identify those who know no better though, and they seem remarkably numerous.
Simple cases of human error seem to have some sort of affinity with Khan.
Sam - it does, doesn't it?
Human error? Can't have been the Mayor, then.
decnine - or any of the lizard people.
Nah! It is just a desire to watch a scantily clad nubile prance about.
While claiming to be enthralled by the artistic subtlety of her singing.
Same as it ever was.
Doonhamer - an expensive way of doing it though.
A simple human error? Aye, right.
Peter - aye and pigs might fly.
