If this was actually true, you would accept the fact that TfL's own figures show that the Silvertown Tunnel will worsen CO2 emissions and increase dangerous pollution in some of the least affluent parts of London. And you'd have the courage to do something about it.

Our latest letter to Mayor of London sets out why building the £2.2bn Silvertown road tunnel fundamentally undermines his (and Labour's) climate agenda.

I’ve been calling on the GLA to do more to protect Mature Trees and if elected would make sure local plans make…

Ed Miliband Sadiq Khan So we can support the climate denier who claims that his objectively carbon-increasing £2bn new road supports his 2030 net zero target? Shame on you, Ed, for not calling this out. When you put party loyalty ahead of science, you're as bad as the Tories.

So we can support the climate denier who claims that his objectively CO2-increasing £2.2bn new road supports his 2030 net zero target? Shame on you, Ed, for not calling this out. When you put party loyalty ahead of climate action, and the truth, you're just as bad as the Tories.

Extremely grateful to Zack for going that extra mile in between canvassing to talk with residents about the negative impacts of the Silvertown tunnel. With Zack’s track record in City Hall I know we really can trust him to challenge the Mayor on such a devastating issue.

Is it a crime to be in poverty❓

The answer, clearly, is no.

And yet in London today, it is effectively the case that being poor is criminalised.

Sadiq Khan says he's tackling air pollution and the climate crisis but at the same time he's approved the polluting Silvertown tunnel where MANY 1000s are being felled. Stop Silvertown Tunnel Traffic and Pollution Joanne McCartney Mike Hakata Guy Russo 🔶

Why is the self-appointed 'Mayor of Clean Air' Mayor of London Sadiq Khan inducing demand for driving, & therefore pollution, in London with the Silvertown Tunnel road building project?
Absolute hypocrisy.

People need to retire the idea that patriarchy genuinely 'protects' any women. This is patriarchal propaganda meant to conceal the fact that it's an inherently violent structure--the whole point is to put you in a dangerous situation, something that marginalization only deepens.

Dale Vince Earthfest 2024 Sadiq Khan Ava-Santina PoliticsJOE That is why Khan wants the Silvertown Tunnel is it? That makes sense?

Catherine West MP Sadiq Khan No it’s not. I’ve wasted my time voting for Sadiq Khan before and he’s been no better than BoJo before him. With the Silvertown Tunnel he’s actually been worse. I regret voting for him and shall be washing my hair.

Barry Gardiner Sadiq Khan No it’s not. It’s what great PR looks like. How is Silvertown Tunnel “Great”?

Chris Annous Josh Matthews 🔶 Chris Maines🔶️ Ulysse 🔶🔰 Rob Blackie 🔶 Greenwich Borough Lib Dems 🔶 You need a stronger policy than a resident's discount. Opening Silvertown to general traffic increases congestion and makes pollution & CO2 emissions worse. The only rational policy at this point is to restrict it to public transport & active travel.

An injustice somewhere is an injustice everywhere.

I'm really proud that Zoë Garbett - running for Mayor of London for the Green Party - is speaking with total clarity that following the Cass review we stand with our trans communities.

In a healthy city no one should have to “dry fast” until they reach a restaurant or pub.

Providing places for people to go to the loo for free is a basic element of a civilised city so everyone whatever their income has the security of knowing “they can go when they need to go”.

After 10.5 years, I’ve been laid off by openDemocracy.

This round of redundancy included most of the UK team. Three longstanding sections - oDR, ourEconomy and democraciaAbierta - were all also shut/mothballed in the last 6 months: a total of 21 journalists redundant.

We suspect he'd quite like Silvertown to go up in a puff of smoke as well, given he now clearly understands how much of an environmental and economic disaster it is.

Good question. Where are the journalists asking Mr Khan why he's trying so hard to hide this disastrous project - his biggest spending decision as Mayor, and his legacy - from public view? Ross Lydall Tom Edwards Tim Donovan Fiona Harvey Pippa Crerar

Tom Edwards Sadiq Khan If Mr Khan hadn't spent £200m upfront on the worthless, environmentally destructive Silvertown Tunnel (even before the £65m//year repayments start) he might not have needed to cut those bus km in the fierst place: twitter.com/SilvertownTn/s…
