On 23 June 2020, you tweeted: ‘Four years ago, the UK voted to leave the EU. Four years on, we still have no sign of a deal.

As I stated at the last Mayor’s Question Time, I am perturbed by your decision to establish a Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm, thus making City Hall the arbiter of history in London. This should make us all deeply uncomfortable - no politician should take it upon themselves to become judge, jury, and executioner of a country’s history.

London is the site of many national memorials and...

I note your tweet of 28 July 2019, in which you stated: ‘The only sensible course of action is for the new Prime Minister to withdraw Article 50 and allow a public vote on Brexit - with remain on the ballot paper.’ 1 However, on 21 July 2016, on the ‘Speak to Sadiq’ show on LBC, you stated: ‘There are rules in a game, there are rules in an election and unfortunately my side lost. The British public has voted to leave the European Union. You also said: ‘I've got grievances about how the campaign was conducted but the reality...
