London Mayor Sadiq Khan recently unveiled a 10-point climate action plan for the city during a visit to a school in Stoke Newington. The plan includes targets such as a 100% zero-emission bus fleet by 2030 and air pollution filters in schools. Khan, who is running for reelection, expressed confidence in delivering on these promises regardless of the election outcome, emphasising the importance of a greener, safer, and fairer London. The mayoral election is set for May 2, with Khan highlighting the need for voter turnout to support his vision for the city’s future.

On the political front, Tory attacks on Labour’s deputy leader, Angela Rayner, have been described as a strategic move to challenge her image and credibility. Rayner has faced scrutiny over past criticisms of the government and allegations related to the sale of a council house. Despite these attacks, they are unlikely to significantly impact the polls, with broader issues such as Partygate and economic challenges having a more substantial effect on public opinion. Rayner, who denies any wrongdoing, remains secure in her position but may face distractions from ongoing investigations, potentially affecting her engagement with voters.
