Dear John

Today is a day to celebrate. The Court of Appeal has ruled against Heathrow's expansion on environmental grounds, stating that it does not match the UK’s commitments under the Paris Climate Change Agreement.

This is a landmark case for environmental campaigners, who have successfully argued that we need to take more radical action if we are going to take this climate emergency seriously.

That’s why I’ve called on Sadiq Khan to rule out any further expansion at City Airport and to scrap the polluting Silvertown Tunnell road project too.

As Mayor, I will put a green lens on all my policy decisions - from housing to transport - as part of my vision for a safer, greener, kinder London. 

Read on to discover why kindness is contagious, the disappointing Government cover-up on homelessness and my call to legalise e-scooters in London.

Kind regards

Siobhan Benita

Lib Dem Candidate for Mayor of London

Kindness Is Contagious. Pass It On (Siobhan Benita)

Last week, I talked about how I’ve put kindness at the heart of my politics. So I’m excited to launch my latest campaign video sticking to this theme.

Londoners know that our homelessness crisis is at an unacceptable level, whatever way the Government wants to dress it up. We need urgent action to end rough sleeping.
