That is not being dismissive, that is being factual and it is down to Sadiq Khan.

Violent crime has almost trebled in Manchester: https://www.manchestereveningnews.co...ipled-14510934
Manchester has a higher murder rate too: https://news.sky.com/story/in-contex...-rate-11315585

Using Office for National Statistics figures for homicide - both murder and manslaughter - in each British constabulary area (Sept 2016 - Sept 2017), we can see that London has a rate of 1.45 homicides per 100,000 people.
This is around the same as Leicestershire (1.5), West Yorkshire (1.45) and Derbyshire (1.6).
There are plenty of places with a worse rate and some may surprise you.
The worst is Greater Manchester where 61 deaths led to a rate of around 2.44 homicides per 100,000 people.

And Knife crime has risen massively too:

Knife crime in Manchester city centre has risen dramatically, according to shocking new figures.
Piccadilly Gardens is a hotspot for offences, police said.
Statistics obtained by the M.E.N. reveal victim-based crimes against a person - where a knife was used or threatened - increased by 34 per cent from 1,344 in 2016/17 to 1,806 for 2017/18.
