Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 01/10/2025
I remember being told that it would take 193 years to reach legal limits for nitrogen dioxide. I decided this was unacceptable. Thanks to the bold policies we put in place, we've managed to do it in nine years - 184 years earlier than expected.

So, you know Sadiq Khan's expansion of @london.gov.uk's Ultra Low Emissions Zone that supposedly helped the Tories win the Uxbridge by-election in 2023, encouraging Sunak to slow progress toward net zero and throwing Labour into a tizzy too? Well.... (Source: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...)

Giving kids the best start in life is a crucial part of our Plan for Change. We’re investing £8billion into subsidised child care for working parents across the country, creating brilliant careers, helping parents get to work and giving children the best start in life.

The Conservatives are just too seduced by the potency of far-right populism to be trusted at a moment like this. Johnson, it's now abundantly clear, would have buckled and betrayed Ukraine. Truss would have done so with wild abandon. Only Sunak might've held firm. And that's frankly arguable.
