He campaigned against the controversial Silvertown Tunnel in East London and appeared on BBC London. In an interview he said "[Sadiq Khan] is doing ULEZ to decrease pollution while doing the tunnel to increase [it]. "It's very hypocritical of him and it's really going to hurt young people in the area."[1] [2]
