New chancellor, same story: London is always left out of Whitehall’s plan for growth

"The Treasury’s Red Book mentions London only 4 times in 122 pages - 3 times in the context of “outside” London & a 4th time in the Treasury’s address on the back cover." https://t.co/yXi4AdS1xU

My message to the London Conference today was clear: despite economic turmoil, we will never stop building a better London for all.

We will create the high-wage jobs Londoners deserve.

We will invest in communities & businesses.

And we will push to achieve net-zero by 2030.
