Sadiq Khan is no stranger to complaining about central government grants which take “London for granted” while taking millions in taxpayer cash for granted to pay for his projects. On top of the £123 million he has spent on ludicrous woke projects, Guido can reveal Khan has splashed out £28.7 million on virtue signalling and self-promotion through Transport for London. He Khan’t seem to stop spending taxpayers’ cash…

Campaigns advertising TfL include ‘Champion Value’ Campaign, where Khan thought it would be a good idea to put prices on ads to encourage people to hop on the tube (when the drivers aren’t on strike). TfL have been begging for money since the pandemic, asking for and receiving a series of bailouts from the government, including a £250 million handout to avoid what TfL called a funding “cliff edge.” Before Christmas Khan even had the gall to say: “As the Government has only provided half of the capital funding that TfL needs, TfL has had to make difficult decision about their business plan“.
