Sadiq Khan's safety comments "do not reassure the people of London" on policing, GB News Political Editor Christopher Hope said.
The London Mayor has said that he felt "triggered" by the violent disorder that descended on the UK over the past week.
Riots have been seen across the country after misinformation was spread online surrounding the stabbing three young girls in Southport.
Speaking on GB News, Hope said: "Sadiq Khan is a really important figure in this country.

"What he is saying is that personally he feels triggered by the riots and he blamed the far-right, as the government has done, for the troubles.

"He has talked before about the levels of security he has to have in the past and said that he doesn't really want to go into that too much because that might draw attention to it.
"He does have to be be protected and if he's saying that about how he feels as a Muslim man, it is right to point out that the Jewish community has felt under threat since the the war in Gaza broke out.
"The way that they felt pressured by protesters. He's probably speaking as individual muslim but it doesn't reassure people about the state of policing in London."
The riots broke out last week after three young girls were stabbed at a Taylor Swift themed dance class in Southport.

Misinformation was then spread online claiming that the suspect was a migrant.
Protesters have taken to the streets all across the UK with some rioters attempting to burn down a hotel allegedly used to house migrants in Rotherham last weekend.
This caused counter-protests from the Muslim community that remained mostly peaceful on Wednesday.
Police are still an alert this weekend in case any further riots break out.
