Travel

London will open fully, finally and permanently on May 6th
There will be free transport for six months. A helping hand to get people back to work and play and a helping hand for small businesses cafes and coffee shops
Scrap the pollution-causing Low Traffic Neighbourhoods that have cut off homes and streets and discriminate against the most vulnerable in society.
All unnecessary cycle lanes will be removed.

Housing

As Mayor, Fox will build 250,000 houses over his four-year term.
A full audit of the green belt will take place. With precious landscapes preserved for eternity and unattractive scrubland transformed into beautiful and affordable housing

Policing

Fox will make London safe again by removing politics from policing.
He will end the policing of tweets and focus on real crime in London.
Petty crime will be dealt with firmly in a New York-style 'broken windows' policing strategy to serve as a reminder to more serious criminals that London will be a hostile environment for them.

Women

No woman will have to share a private bathroom or changing space with a man.
There will be three walls and a door between you and any man in London.
Hammersmith bridge

The bridge will be opened to pedestrians and cyclists by the end of the year and a full bridge solution implemented by 2024.

Entertainment

Every year there will be a Festival of London, where for one day every theatre ticket is free. We need to get the life blood of tourism flowing back into London.

Heritage

A Union Flag will fly outside every school in London. Children will be taught about the good that Britain has done in the past as well as the bad.
Any institutions that seek to undermine our shared culture via critical social justice and critical race theory will lose their funding in London. Our culture is a reflection of us all and must be protected with all our collective energy.

Ok so which party do you think he'll represent or will he be an independent candidate? If he's going independent then he truly has no chance. Hence I'm questioning his motive cuz I dont see him representing Labour.

He started whining and hooting like a poundshop Katie Hopkins all over Social Media and now no one will hire him so now he has to do silly things like pretend he has a chance of becoming London mayor so that he can stay in the public eye and make money as a sad rightey socialite. It's hard to deem it an acting career success.

Khan wouldn't be my choice but he's been consistently double figures ahead and it appears around 20% ahead currently.

Most of the contacts I have who are resident in London, they expect him to win and they tell me they expect him to win and then most of them too want him to as well.

It would be a big shock if he didn't win again frankly.

Fox will grip hold of the Tory party of course ,if UKIP was still relevant he'd be slobbering over them like a big desperate cockroach .

EDIT
If he's trying a independent party then that's beyond laughable and pathetic lol .
