Wrong. We weren’t invited in, just presented with a “final offer” by the Tories after they stitched it up with the Greens. After 5 years of working closely I did not see the Green Tories coming
Greens, like the grown ups we are, joined negotiations for allocations of roles in the London Assembly to maximise the power that a Green vote has. Labour chose to sit them out, seemingly so that they could tweet photos of Greens sat in a room with Tories. Absolute children.

If you compare and contrast now to last June, when the first lockdown was lifted, we have six times as many patients in London hospitals, and eight times as many patients on ventilators.

Not true. They jointly decided a 3-year between themselves and presented a final offer. We’ve always respected them & chatted through ideas. Never presented a final offer. How anyone can support Tories chairing Transport? Let alone so-called progressive air quality campaigners
@JoanneMcCartney
The proposal would have allowed Labour to chair five committees, the Conservatives four, Greens one and the Liberal Democrats one in the first year of this administration.
At the 11th hour, Labour decided to walk away from any agreement and refused to chair any Committees.

Sadiq Khan benefits from people not paying attention to his actions. When people do watch Mayor’s Question Time or look at his policies in detail it’s pretty clear what a dreadful Mayor of London he has been. Yesterday was a new low for him.
