"It was also telling just how personal Johnson’s hatred for Khan is. He can’t stand the fact that Sadiq is more popular in London than him, nor can he bear it that Khan has unarguably done a better job than he did as London mayor. So Boris went into hissy-fit overdrive where one lie was immediately topped by another. Sadiq had bankrupted the city, he was personally responsible for the damage to Hammersmith bridge — at least when your own bridge is only in your imagination, you can’t do any damage to it — and Londoners deserved everything that was coming down the road to make their lives more miserable for having backed him.
None of which was true. According to TfL’s accounts, since Khan took over from Johnson in 2016 he has reduced the deficit by 71% and increased cash reserves by 16%. That TfL is now in trouble is entirely down to the pandemic. Not even Johnson’s own MPs could stomach these lies. Asking for the country’s trust during a national crisis when you can’t even tell the truth about an audited balance sheet is an uphill struggle. If the prime minister will lie about this, what won’t he lie about?"

Although £53m spent on it could be classed as damaging.
The buffoon gave us Boris Buses - which I grudgingly quite like; at least they're distinctive.
And Boris Bikes; which of course are Ken bikes... |  | | |

What's happening about the bridge between N Ireland and Scotland, by the way? I haven't heard Boris mention it recently. | | | |

He’s still at the garden centre sourcing enough shrubs. |  | | |

The congestion charge is basically just legalised metropolitan theft, or, if you prefer, a London-based tax on motorists that has little or nothing to do with meaningful decongestion or improving air quality. TfL show how cynical they are by even stating that roads will become 'unusably congested' unless they do Londoners a favour by increasing the charge still further, so clearly the implication is their own scheme doesn't work anyway and is really just about making money. Having a joined-up public transport policy and building an Underground system that isn't both one of the most breakdown-prone and expensive networks in the world might be a place to start. Mind you, that requires politicians with vision and collaborative ambition, who tend to be a teensy weensy bit thin on the ground in what remains of Great Britain. [Post edited 24 Oct 2020 8:41]

presumably Tom Payne doesnt actually understand what a Minority is. Pretty sure the population of Ealing is well over 20000 |  | | |

Have more than 10,000 of them signed a petition in support of them?
