I note your tweet of 13 October 2020 which was headed: ‘This is my final warning to the Government on Brexit.’ In it, you advised the Government to seek an extension to the EU trade negotiations, to avoid the ‘chaos and uncertainty from an impending no-deal Brexit.’ Has Her Majesty’s Government taken heed of your final warning?

On 20 September, LBC reported: ‘London mayor Sadiq Khan is said to be pressing for a 10pm curfew for pubs and work-from-home orders in the capital amid rising coronavirus cases.’ ‘The mayor is now urging ministers to extend the latest regional curbs – including ordering bars and restaurants to close at 10pm – to cover the capital as well, despite pleas from business leaders that such a move would be “devastating”.’ 1 However, on 7 October you tweeted: ‘We need a rapid review of the 10pm curfew. It is clearly hitting hospitality businesses hard, and it’s contributing to dangerous overcrowding...

Peter Whittle AM: Thank you very much, Mr Chair. Good morning to the panel. My question I think I have to ask you all, and maybe someone can answer it. It is just about London’s - if you want to call it - cultural industry. I do not mean by that necessarily the creative industry. I mean in terms of theatre, in terms of performing arts, in terms of all the things that make up a huge part of London life and, of course, the economy. What are your views on the future of that? How do you see that...

I note that on 4 July 2019 you Tweeted to your followers: ‘The damage that Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt seem willing to do to our economy, in pursuit of power, looks limitless. The refusal to take no-deal off the table is already creating uncertainty, denting business confidence and damaging our economy.’ 1 What empirical evidence (apart from what I believe to be scare mongering from HM Treasury, Remainer cheerleaders or former Goldman Sachs banker Mark Carney) do you have that the UK leaving the European Union without a deal will damage our economy? 1 https://twitter.com/SadiqKhan/status/1146853219466907650

To ask the Mayor if he will join with me on congratulating the City of London on the recent news that the Asian merchant bank Ion Pacific has chosen to establish its new European headquarters in London - despite Brexit. ( http://www.cityam.com/269593/asian-merchant-bank-ion-pacific-expands-in… )

To ask the Mayor if he has seen the recent report from the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), which states that: 'Starting salaries are rising at their fastest pace for 20 months as the departure of European workers after the Brexit vote squeezes the availability of suitable job candidates' and whether he thinks this development is good news for Londoners? http://news.sky.com/story/good-time-to-look-for-new-job-as-starting-sal…

I understand that are currently trying to persuade your colleagues in the Labour Party to commit to holding a second referendum on the UK's membership of the EU, in an attempt to halt Brexit. Given that the British People rejected David Cameron's apocalyptic prophecy of national economic meltdown in June 2016 and that unemployment has now fallen to lowest level since 1975, with inward investment at a record high, the odds are not in your favour. What will you do if you lose a second referendum, or will you insist on further referenda until you get the result you seek...
