In August, we finally agreed a long-term funding deal with the Government, removing the threat of the managed decline of transport in London, and enabling us to re-start projects, like electrifying Santander Cycles.

RT @SadiqKhan: The Tory government have developed selective amnesia when it comes to one of the root causes of our problems.
Their extreme Brexit deal can’t be airbrushed out of history.
