Your friendly reminder that the Mayor put up your council tax by 8.8% this year - despite the majority of the London Assembly voting against it.
It’s simply not right that Londoners are struggling to pay their bills and make ends meet.
The UK Gov must do much more to help people through this cost of living crisis.

When Labour thinks about private schools, they picture Eton pupils.
They don't think about a kid from the council estate wanting better for his children, a shop worker working extra shifts, or parents sacrificing everything for SEND education.
Labour cannot fathom aspiration.

Today a majority of the London Assembly voted against the Mayor of London’s budget and his painful 8.8% Council Tax rise. 14 members voted against it and only 11 (all Labour) for. It passed anyway as it needs a 2/3 majority to fall.

This isn’t an accurate headline. What it should say is, ‘After two or three years - when ULEZ ceases to bring in enough money as people will have changed their cars, been priced out of driving or closed their small business - then he’ll bring in a new scheme which hits all cars.’
Sadiq Khan considers scrapping controversial Ulez scheme, replacing it with 'pay-as-you-drive' system - which could see drivers charged based on how many passengers are in the car

Right, so what’s going on here is that the Government gave Sadiq Khan over £4bn to start 35,000 new homes between 2021-2026. So far he has started zero. So he is now going to buy existing housing and pretend they are new. Net number of new houses 0️⃣ Impact on private rent ⬆️

I can’t see a scenario where Sadiq Khan stops or delays ULEZ. He might ‘find’ more money for scrappage, or increase eligibility. He could reduce the daily charge or propose discounts for certain drivers. But there is no way he’ll cancel the expanded scheme - it’s about the money.

Sadiq Khan is making the analogy with banning smoking again. It’s wrong.

Also, there weren’t numerous independent scientific reports saying the ban would make no real difference.

It appears that other scientific institutions were asked, by Sadiq Khan’s office, to alter their press releases after research found insufficient evidence to support Khan’s air quality claims.

This is extraordinary. Not only did Sadiq Khan refuse to tell the London Assembly he was planning this he also neglected to tell the train operators, or even agree a deal with them! It’s nothing more than an ill-thought-through PR gimmick using funds which are needed elsewhere.

Thanks for writing this up. I kept digging on the salaries. One of Sadiq’s Deputy Mayors was kind enough to let me have the pay bands. Now, these are just TfL employees - Project Detroit’s 116 consultants are where the rest of the cost is. Pay-per-mile is part of their brief.
