I was surprised to learn from the press that Mr Jack Stenner, the GLA’s director of political and public affairs, on a salary of £120,000 a year, has quit London for an apartment in San Francisco, some eight hours behind London, whilst retaining his post.

On 22 July 2020, you appeared before Parliament’s Transport Select Committee and told them: ‘Unlike du ring the previous administration where the number of people earning over £100,000 was going up and bonuses were going up, in the last four years they have been going down.’ However, for the end of the financial year 2015/16, when you took over as London’s Mayor, the total number of TfL employees earning more than £100,000 was 458 - including Crossrail staff. That went up for the next two years - to a high of 617. It then dropped to 515, before rising again...

Given your closeness to Extinction Rebellion and your support for ‘Black Lives Matter’, do you agree with Extinction Rebellion’s co-founder Gail Bradbrook, who in the London Evening Standard on Friday 4 September 2020, questioned the ‘racist pollution impact of the Silvertown Tunnel.’ What is your understanding of the term ‘racist pollution’ and will it impact your support for the Silvertown Tunnel?
