“Hypocrite” Sadiq Khan and His Team Rack up More Than 430,000 Air Miles Since He Was Elected London Mayor in 2016

Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, and his entourage are facing backlash for accumulating a staggering 430,000 air miles since 2016, despite presenting himself as an advocate for environmental causes. The Mail has more.

Sadiq Khan, his deputies and officials have racked up more than 430,000 air miles since he was first elected London Mayor in 2016, analysis shows.

The Labour politician, who has positioned himself as a champion of environmental causes, attracted condemnation yesterday as he flew to the U.S. for a climate summit.

He is expected to use the trip to promote his Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez), which he claims will reduce deaths caused by air pollution, after expanding the scheme last month.

He flew to New York with five aides to attend the UN General Assembly and take part in the Climate Ambition Summit and is also due to appear alongside Prince William at the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit.

Mr. Khan is flying despite repeatedly saying he wants to clean up the air, and analysis shows his latest trip has sent the number of air miles clocked up by him and his team to 430,000. 

That is enough to fly around the world 17 times and is estimated to have pumped out 200 tons of carbon into the atmosphere. 

The latest New York trip alone will account for 41,412 of the air miles total, when all six attendees and both legs of the journey are taken into account. …

Howard Cox, an academic who opposes the Ulez expansion, said: “What a hypocrite the London Mayor is. This typifies our capital’s clueless, dishonest leader who is so out of touch with grassroot voters who won’t forget his hypocrisy at next year’s ballot box.”

DM fails to mention that Howard Cox is the Reform candidate for the mayoral elections. Yet it refers to Susan Hall as the Tory candidate.

Yes he’s a hypocrite. Obviously.

But they all are.

I’m still waiting to see an article on the DS calling Rishi Sunak a hypocrite, for flying around probably much more than Khan and yet creating the office of the Minister for Net Zero, while at the same time criticising ULEZ expansion for no other purpose than scoring cheap political points with confused voters who don’t get what’s going on.

They’re all a bunch of hypocrites.

They all pretend they would like to do something about it but the big, mean civil service won’t let them. Bollocks. It’s their excuse. They don’t want to do anything other than go with the flow for personal gain and benefit. Cretins all of them.

Actually the moment any single one of them stands up and tries to do the right thing they attack him and devour him like a pack of wolves. Exhibit A: Andrew Bridgen.

They’re all scum.

We are going to be confronted by an alien invasion in 2024.

Definitely worth a watch.
