The Mayor of London will launch his re-election campaign on Monday with a pledge to build 40,000 new council homes by the end of the decade
Sadiq Khan will launch his campaign for a third term as London Mayor on Monday with a pledge to build 40,000 new council homes by the end of the decade.
Mr Khan will tout the "rare, precious" prospect of Labour rule in both Downing Street and City Hall, saying Sir Keir's victory at the general election would mean the capital could "go from rowing against the tide of a Tory Government to having the winds of a Labour Government at our backs". The Labour incumbent will stress his commitment to building quality council homes under zero-carbon rules.
He will say that working together with a Labour government, "we can go even further, quickening the pace, building on the progress we've made and unleashing the greatest council housebuilding drive in a generation." "On May 2 the choice is clear: chaos and division with the Tories, or unity and hope with Labour. A vote for Sadiq Khan as mayor is a vote for continuing to change the lives of Londoners for the better."
