‘This super sewer will help us reconnect to the Thames
Evening Standard|May 15, 2024
LONDON was buzzing last week with news of Sadiq Khan's huge mandate for a third term as Mayor. Commentary that focused on other candidates getting it wrong misses the point, and sells us Londoners short. Sadiq was the only candidate who actually likes our city.

‘This super sewer will help us reconnect to the Thames

The other runners, with some exceptions, talked about London as a place to be brought under control, punitive language for a city they see as too unruly, too diverse, too "woke".

We're lucky to live in the world's greatest city, and the role of Mayor involves representing us globally as well, ensuring that London remains competitive.

And that means green. Investors won't consider cities that aren't liveable and climate-resilient.
