👏 A huge congratulations to the EIGHT Conservative Members who have been elected or re-elected to the London Assembly.
Thank you to every Londoner who voted to elect City Hall Conservatives on Thursday. 🗳️
🚨 NEW: Sadiq Khan made false and dishonest statements to the London Assembly, and manipulated the ULEZ consultation results by improperly excluding thousands of responses.
200+ pages of internal emails and documents have been released today, exposing the truth.

🚨 BREAKING: The High Court has now ruled there is sufficient evidence that Sadiq Khan's ULEZ decision may have been unlawful. The Mayor clearly does not have the legal grounds to proceed with his ULEZ tax plans and must now explain his actions to the court.
⚠️ These are the people Sadiq Khan insulted on Thursday night.
It is absolutely unacceptable to smear members of the public who disagree with you over ULEZ as "far-right."
Retweet this if you think Sadiq Khan should apologise to them.
This is what overwhelming opposition looks like.
Retweet if you think Sadiq Khan should listen to the overwhelming majority of Londoners, and U-turn on his ULEZ expansion.

As Mayor, Khan has chosen to spend an extra £83 million on City Hall, TfL perks and spin doctors instead of policing. If Khan cut his waste he could hire an extra 1,378 👮♂️
Brutal night for Sadiq Khan at People’s Question Time yesterday.

🚨 NEW: Sadiq Khan’s deputy Shirley Rodrigues was asked by

if she’d read a peer-reviewed Imperial study, which found ULEZ had a limited effect on air quality when it was first brought in.
Her response? “It sounds a little bit like the climate science deniers.”
Thanks to the joint work of the councils of Bexley, Bromley, Harrow, Hillingdon and Surrey, the Mayor will stand trial for his potentially unlawful decision on the ULEZ expansion.

BREAKING: Sadiq Khan to raise his Council Tax by 8.6% - twice the rate of inflation.
This means he has raised his Council Tax by a whopping 70.8% since becoming Mayor.
Despite this:
- TfL is £14 billion in debt;
- ULEZ is raking in £300m in just one year;
- The Met Police…
FACT CHECK: Sadiq Khan told

Sadiq Khan's ULEZ expansion does next to nothing to improve air quality, and hits the poorest hardest.
#TheULEZScandal
documents show that opposition to the plans was so overwhelming, Sadiq Khan's office decided to manipulate the results.

🗣 "Mr Mayor, isn't the simple truth that we have record knife crime, record murder, and you have wasted a record amount of taxpayers' money instead of policing London"
Last night, at the end of People’s Question Time, Sadiq Khan complained after facing tough questions from the public and Assembly Members that it was a “stitch up.”
Decide for yourself. Are these legitimate questions to ask the Mayor after six years of failures, or a stitch up?
For many black Londoners, our city feels unsafe. On Khan's watch, the number of black Londoners murdered has soared by 68%.
@ShaunBaileyUK
told the Mayor what impact rising crime has had on his family and community. This was the Mayor's disgusting, blame-shifting response.
Enough is enough. The Extinction Rebellion has disrupted Londoners' lives for nine days, wasted police time, and cost our city at least £16 million 🚨
✋👮♂️The police have made the right decision to stop the protests. Why doesn't the Mayor agree? 🧐
🚨
@SadiqKhan
's crime record is appalling. He has refused to cut his waste to hire an extra 1,378 cops, let police numbers fall to 30k by failing to recruit enough officers and flip-flopped on stop & search. But it's okay because the Mayor thinks London is safer now 🤯
🗣 Sir Tom Winsor: "The idea that the facts have been ignored, over 115 pages, the facts have been gone into on a minute-by-minute detailed basis. They could not have been more painstakingly and thoroughly analysed."
⚠️ Fact check: Sadiq Khan said on ITV London that "most Londoners agree" with him on ULEZ expansion.
That isn't true.
1⃣ Over 60% voted against in the official consultation.
2⃣ The latest YouGov polling shows a clear majority are opposed.

On Thursday, the London Assembly can vote to stop Sadiq Khan’s ULEZ expansion, a plan that hurts the poorest while having a negligible effect on air pollution.
Retweet if you think Assembly Members should listen to the 66% who voted against it in the consultation.
The Police and Crime Committee has formally summonsed the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan to appear at a meeting in November to discuss the Tom Winsor report and the circumstances around the resignation of the former Met Police Commissioner.

ULEZ – a Conservative initiative – needs careful planning. “London” means more than one area and “Londoner” means more than one type of person. All of London and all Londoners must be equipped for change.
🗣
@PeterTFortune
asked to see the Mayor's data and met some resistance.
Sadiq Khan's ULEZ expansion is so unpopular, some of his supporters are now trying to claim the government forced him to do it.
This is untrue. The Mayor himself admits that it was his decision.
Our latest fact check explains:
‼️ Sadiq Khan’s office excluded thousands of legitimate responses from the ULEZ results, and tried to skew the results with digital marketing.
And he covered it up, with false and dishonest statements to the London Assembly.

Sadiq Khan must scrap the policy.

Last month, the City Hall Conservatives proposed a budget amendment to freeze Sadiq Khan's Council Tax this year.

Did you know that Sadiq Khan has racked up enough air miles to travel around the world 14 times?
Or that he received free premium flight tickets in return for advertising an airline?
Meanwhile he charges the poorest £12.50 to drive their cars.
FACT CHECK: Sadiq Khan and his team believe people on lower incomes don’t own cars.
This is false. And
@NeilGarratt
has the data to prove it.
The truth is: Sadiq Khan’s ULEZ expansion would hurt the poorest during a cost of living crisis.
🗣
@NJROnline
: “The Mayor clearly does not have the legal grounds to proceed with his Ulez tax plans, which take money from charities, small businesses and low income Londoners who cannot afford a new car."
