Sadiq Khan will promise to put London on a par with Scandinavian capitals by making it a carbon-neutral city by 2030 if he is re-elected as mayor of the capital later this year.

Or die in a ditch?😥

For who they will all have been murdered before then maybe he should try get knife neutral first instead of prancing around smelling the air of his poster free busses loser

Sounds like a fantastic idea if the aim is to shut down our capital city and cause epic disruption and disorder.

Easy to make these promises 10 years ahead when he won't be Mayor of London and blaming his successor

Mr Khan was intellectually neutral some time ago, in fact negative! Prelude to more taxes to support his outrageous spending.

He should start by scrapping the Silvertown Tunnel. It's ten steps backward.

Carbon neutrality by that early date can only be achieved by removing everyone's car and central heating. You have been warned!

Big talk given he will not be in office on that date

Big talk given he is likely to be mo

What’s the worth of vows when there’s no accountability for when they’re broken time and again...

Shame he did not pledge to make London gang & knife crime neutral by 2030.

you shouldn't worry about it he is not going to be re-elected

He is going to make everyone in City to walk and 🚲 😂

Lol re-elected

SadiqKhan MayorofLondon well he might be better at planting trees than he is at protecting Londoners 😲

What about knife crime clamity Khan. Answer the bloody question.

The UK only accounts for 1.4% of global emissions! If other countries like China, India and US don't do their part, what we do won't make a blind bit of difference!

My word. One thing this cretin excels at it chatting complete bollocks.

CleanAirLondon He’ll have a job if he doesn’t cancel SilvertownTn pdq.

Can anyone identify anything he actually achieved in first term? If not, should promises for next term not be treated with some scepticism?

CleanAirLondon Let’s hope he doesn’t get in as sorting out the crime should be his priority

CleanAirLondon He will never do it without inconveniencing everyone who uses BUSES, yes those essential modes of transport. 4 buses to King's cross instead of one. Already, missed so many of my friends' art events, it's so antisocial. Clean air is a must, but he won't do it.

He vowed to plant 2 million trees in 2015 but we haven't seen any signs of them yet. The man cannot be trusted.

SadiqKhan The mayor claims to want to help the poorest communities but is it correct there is a 37% poverty rate in the area? If so, those ppl he claims to want to help will be affected the most by poor air quality CleanAirLondon EGRA_London SilvertownTn

Certainly seems adept at reducing population impacts.

More lies from khanage growapairmayor !!

GeoffreyLean Did anyone ask him how he intends to get all private players to scrap their diesel and petrol cars and rip out their gas boilers by 2030? Because unless he has a plan for that it's just talk, I'm afraid.

He's not very good at keeping promises is he?

You’ll never get all that “carbon” out of London 😳 🤣🤣🤣

He can vow all he likes, but he really needs to go!

The man's a complete fraud

SadiqKhan I’d focus on knife crimes first

jossgarman He’s going to kill everyone?

SilvertownTunnel the motorway with HGV lanes, ready by 2025 is hardly part of that plan. KharbonKhan promises a Green New Deal with one hand while signing off SilvertownTn with the other. XRGreenwich XRLondon XRCamden Andrew9Boswell thefabians sianberry CleanAirLondon

SadiqKhan I would love to learn as to how you would adapt to the carbon footprint of the international airports the traffic around a multitude of railway stations and the motorways that feed London.

At least your last breath after being stabbed will be fresh clean air

But not safe from knife crime

SadiqKhan Any news on this 'vow' he made to get elected?

SadiqKhan Spending up 50% to do less than the previous Mayors. 30 odd million extra this year for staffing eh? Never has so little been done by so many labourisajoke SadiqKhan spending clueless

SadiqKhan He’s going to make London less populated with the murder rate !!

Yeah right , we heard that before😅

In the same way as when he pledged to eradicate knife crime? This twerp has been like King Midas in reverse. Amyway he'll be long gone by 2030.

Guessing the definition of carbon neutral is up for debate

SadiqKhan He will not be. 😂😂😂😂

SadiqKhan Can we not make it Khan free

SadiqKhan Be better if it were knife free

SadiqKhan The gap between the green image SadiqKhan wants to promote, and the regressive petrolhead business-as-usual reality is positively Orwellian. If you want to know the truth, follow the money. He's spending £1bn on a massive new road. And cancelling bike & pedestrian schemes.

SadiqKhan but crime will go up

Knife crime zero please

If he could make it knife free by 2030 he'd be doing well.

Bull

Welp that has convinced me...

Can you imagine the carbon tax involved in that , he would also like to go work at the UN party palace. On leaders that collect huge amounts of tax dollars for them, get to go work at the party palace. All private jets, and you can have all mobility rights removed from you.

Thank goodness but will you still get stabbed to death ?

I'd like to make London Sadiq neutral he's a tosser

Prioritise in your capacity as Mayor Mr Mayor. Stop kids killing each other then we can worry about the environment.

Question; why doesn't he stand for labour leader

He won't be re-elected. shite mayor!

So he guaranteed his loss

Any change of making London knife crime free ASAP SadiqKhan ?
