If you've ever used the term "illegal migrants" to describe asylum seekers, then you are part of the problem.

Scrooge has come early this year with Sadiq Khan's decision to remove #Uber's licence to operate in London. This decision strips more than 40,000 drivers of their livelihood, denies Londoners a choice of transport, and will discourage innovation in our city.

The Mayor misled @Schofe & Londoners on #ThisMorning by denying that TfL removed an advert because it contained strawberries and cream. They did. Sadiq Khan still will not admit his ad ban is confusing. This policy shouldn't be his priority when there's a violent crime epidemic.

The @mayoroflondon did not include disabled people on the London Recovery Board which he set up in 2020. He just blamed everyone else but him. He's now funding an appeal to the High Court so he can continue to ignore the disabled. Londoners . this is your Mayor. #MQT.

If this is true, itโs a massive shame govt are abandoning leasehold abolition. London needs commonhold. Many leaseholders feel powerless in the face of service charges and major works. Commonhold will help flat owners take back control of their lives.

Not only does Sadiq Khan not have the power to introduce rent controls, they simply don't work. History shows that experimenting with rent controls can lead to deteriorating property standards, fewer homes to rent and even higher rents 1/5.

In 2020 I headed an investigation on behalf of the Council of Europe into the attacks on LGBT rights in places like Poland, Hungary and Russia. The PM's statement today suggests I should have looked closer to home. @LGBTCons.

The #Uber decision by @TfL amounts to blaming drivers for their own neglect of the licensing system. They've effectively shut down innovation and told the world that #LondonIsClosed for business.

Boris was a better Mayor than Sadiq Khan is, but he didn't stand up to officials, was slow to deliver tax cuts and often didn't keep his promises. We need a PM who can be trusted to deliver Brexit, unite our country, and take on Corbyn. That's why it #HastobeHunt
