This man killed thousands of jobs today by his refusal to let people drive into London for just four Saturdays in December - not even on Boxing Day. Shameful,
@SadiqKhan
.
Ridiculously stubborn
@SadiqKhan
refuses to remove the Park Lane supposedly temporary Park Lane cycle lane when a few metres away in Hyde Park is an underused cycle lane - this photo shows the congestion + air quality chaos
@MayorofLondon
has caused.
If this bombshell reporting is true (and Tom Winsor is indisputably impartial) then
@SadiqKhan
would need to do as he urged
@BorisJohnson
to do and resign as
@MayorofLondon
.
This is THE STORY of
@SadiqKhan
's nearly 6 years as
@MayorofLondon
. It is now officially quicker to walk in parts of London than catch a bus. Bad for our economy and not good for air quality, as it causes more congestion.
As below
@SadiqKhan
has raised his share of Council Tax every year - in total by 57.3%.
Again & again Labour politicians cost residents more - not least in Westminster, where Labour Councillors just voted their Cabinet Members a 45% pay increase.
Anyone believe
@Keir_Starmer
?
A Labour government would freeze your council tax this year.
A tax cut for all, not just for the top 1%. Money back in your pocket.
Because we are the party of lower taxes for working people.
That’s the difference we can make. That’s the choice in May. A better Britain.
This is where Conservative-run Kensington & Chelsea (first picture) meets Labour-run Hammersmith & Fulham (second picture) on the railway bridge separating High Street Ken from Hammersmith Road by Olympia.
A picture says 1000 words and Hammersmith & Fulham deserves better.
Park Lane chaos today. Surely now the election is over
@SadiqKhan
must accept that a cycle lane a few yards from one in Hyde Park is a nonsense. He must remove it to reduce congestion and improve air quality.
Always worth remembering that
@SadiqKhan
promised Londoners “zero strikes” should he be elected
@MayorofLondon
in 2016. He has done nothing to make that a reality.
It’s official. NO ONE can work with
@SadiqKhan
. Thank you Andy Byford for your public service. But the man resigning today should be the 6-year failure
@MayorofLondon
.
Hugely honoured to have been re-elected AM for the very special part of London that is West Central. I pledge to continue to hold
@MayorofLondon
to account on crime, environment, housing & transport. To re-open Hammersmith Bridge and focus on jobs, jobs , jobs.
#TeamBailey
Common sense victory on scrapping the Euston Road bike lane, which had led to gridlock - thank you
@TfL
. Now please listen on CW9 and the Park Lane Cycle Lane too.
TfL following
@SadiqKhan
's example of talking green rather than acting green. The
@MayorofLondon
taking unnecessary flights to Argentina & TfL still running diesel vehicles whilst the Mayor is trying to force diesel drivers off the road with his ill-considered ULEZ expansion.
Good to hear
@RBKC
has decided not to reinstall the High Street Ken Cycle Lane, but will look at options for a different cycle lane in the area. We need to improve cycling facilities, but not by approving any scheme (however flawed). LOCAL DEMOCRACY IN ACTION, despite
@SadiqKhan
Imagine the media row if a Tory Minister made such a “Let them eat cake” gaffe. They'd be rightly accused of being arrogant & out of touch.
Don't you understand,
@SadiqKhan
, that 15 months into Covid many Londoners can’t afford to replace their car?
Those suffering from insomnia can read
@SadiqKhan
’s “woke” manifesto. For everyone else, here’s a summary: READ MY LIPS: 4 NEW TAXES if Khan wins in 30 days time on 6th May.
1. Council Tax hike
2. Congestion Charge hike
3. ULEZ extension
4. Outer London Tax
With 9 months to the Mayoral elections, more & more Londoners recognise
@SadiqKhan
has failed as Mayor to improve our transport, cut crime & build the homes we need.We must replace him with
@ShaunBaileyUK
in 2020. He &
@BorisJohnson
will turn things around
Devastated by the
@CityWestminster
result. We had a great team, led by the brilliant Rachael Robathan. Demographics and mid-term factors were key.
Huge congratulations
@RBKC
@KCFConservative
& well done to
@LBHF
Tories.
Thank you to
@VanessaOnAir
for letting me expose
@SadiqKhan
's view that, in your words, "Londoners don't know what they want" re: the High Street Ken Cycle Lane. Oh yes they do, they want it removed.
The
@MayorofLondon
chose to spend Londoners' money on lawyers rather than LISTEN to disabled Londoners & small business people suffering under the Covid pandemic. Appalling judgement call,
@SadiqKhan
.
Sadiq Khan has just admitted he wasted £8 million of taxpayers' money on his dodgy plans for Oxford Street - plans that would have banned cyclists from Oxford Street and sent hundreds of buses a day down residential Wigmore Street.
This is Belgravia Police Station, which was closed by
@SadiqKhan
whilst he kept Uxbridge open to attempt to influence a parliamentary by-election. Graffiti typical of the decay under Khan. Pick up your paint brush, Sadiq!
This is very serious,
@BBC
.
@SadiqKhan
shouldn’t decide your so-called editorial freedom, given ULEZ extension isn’t about air quality but a stealth tax on poorer Londoners.
As one of my residents said to me today, “London is becoming like Moscow under
@SadiqKhan
. Soon only the rich will be able to drive. Older people, families with children and many disabled people will be trapped at home.”
Hammersmith Bridge has been closed for over a month.
@SadiqKhan
needs to get a grip of the situation and reopen the bridge or air pollution & congestion in South West London will keep getting worse.
#SaveHammersmithBridge
Shameless
@SadiqKhan

@FT
today that "financial services have been badly let down“. Yes, like all Londoners, they've been LET DOWN by having a petulant student politician as

Thank you to everyone who voted Conservative across London. To those who didn’t, we will listen to you and continue to serve all Londoners.
Well done Croydon, Harrow and

Under

has spent 7.5 years clogging up our roads, making congestion & air quality worse on the Mayor's anti-choice, anti-car dogma. What Londoners need on 2nd May 2024 is a New Mayor,
@Councillorsuzie
.
Good news from
@TfL
. A year after cutting Park Lane from 3 lanes to 1 TfL has admitted this has increased journey times (+ imo air pollution), so will halve the width of the bus lane between Brook & Cumberland Gates & introduce an extra lane towards Marble Arch.
A step forward.
3 minutes of
@SadiqKhan
being astonishingly rude to female London Assembly Members of every party but his own. If anyone tells you he's a decent guy, show them this video.

@SadiqKhan
avoided consultations on his many damaging changes to London's roads over the last year. This week
@RBKC
stood up for local residents & against the Mayor's attempts to bully them into building a High Street Ken cycle lane that was the wrong scheme in the wrong place.
This photo shows how far the Park Lane Cycle Lane leads to blockages and congestion that is damaging air quality - 4.30pm Friday in Chapel Street. Only 8 days to sign our petition - - &
@TfL
's public consultation -
Hammersmith Bridge will have been shut for 2 years this April & the shameless
@MayorofLondon
sends this "not me guv" letter. Does
@SadiqKhan
do anything?
Today I've written to
@willnorman
in the light of deeply concerning information sent to me by a constituent. It would be scandalous if TfL are spending taxpayers' money to try to influence opinion on an
@RBKC
matter. I hope Will is able to guarantee that this hasn't happened.
From one of my residents. THINK AGAIN,
@SadiqKhan
. Hyde Park has an excellent cycle lane mere metres away. Meanwhile the extra congestion on Park Lane from reducing 3 lanes to 1 for motorists causes worse air pollution.
It is typical of
@SadiqKhan
to try and ride roughshod over the wishes of local residents. He should focus on doing his job and the vast number of areas where he is failing Londoners.
Today the man caught by
@thetimes
(& me) admitting he won't buy an electric car,
@SadiqKhan
, extends the ULEZ to 18 times the size of
@BorisJohnson
original air quality improvement scheme. This is now all about cash as the current
@MayorofLondon
has all but bankrupted TfL.
It’s clear
@wesstreeting
is the one in the gutter. An over-promoted student politician who has already published his autobiography because he wants Starmer to fail. Shallow, glib, those like Streeting who throw around ill founded accusations of racism aren’t fit for Government.
This week's video shows how
@SadiqKhan
's stubborn dogma led to him ignoring a well-used cycle lane in Hyde Park & installing a congestion-causing, air quality-worsening parallel cycle lane in Park Lane. Then refusing to U-turn. London needs a

@ShaunBaileyUK
Plenty of traffic and parked coaches on Park Lane earlier,
@SadiqKhan
, but despite a warm day not a single bicycle on the cycle lane. Perhaps they were a few metres away on The Hyde Park Cycle Lane. Madness, not green London,
@MayorofLondon
.
On Wednesday
@RBKC
is reconsidering the decision on High Street Ken Cycle Lane. I’m grateful for all Elizabeth Campbell & her team’s work on this & for local patience, despite pathetic bullying from

Park Lane is (deliberately?) looking a mess as we look to welcome Christmas shoppers back to London. Yet again
@SadiqKhan
has done literally NOTHING to protect business, although I’ve raised this with him and with
@TfL
multiple times.
A video of
@FelicityBuchan
and I talking about the High St Ken cycle lane. It's really important to encourage more cycling but unfortunately this was the wrong scheme.
What do you think could be improved? 🏘️
London failed to make it onto a top ten list of the world’s most liveable cities, find out where we ranked here 👉
If you elect Labour Councils in May, you'll open the door to far-left extremists to grab control. That would be an utter disaster for all the Londoners, who live in those boroughs. So don't take the risk.
Yesterday I called on
@SadiqKhan
to urge his Labour colleagues in Hammersmith & Fulham to release their Hammersmith Bridge engineering reports . Pathetically, he pretended not to understand. He should be busting a gut to get the bridge re-opened before 4th Jan.
