This is exactly what the leader of a diverse and vibrant city like London should say. Thank you Sadiq.

Nadine Dorries joining Reform isn’t a shock. It’s logical for a politics of cruelty, corruption, and the collapse of neoliberalism.
The rise of Reform is the fault of a failing Labour Government & their vapid politics.
