00:00Finally, there was some good news this morning about the British economy, 0.6% growth, that's
00:04good news for London, no?
00:06I think the way Londoners behave, whether it's businesses, families or individual Londoners,
00:12it's not by living their life on a graph, it's their experiences they have. I spoke
00:15to many businesses over the last six weeks, and I'll carry on doing so, who are really
00:18struggling with the cost of doing business. I've spoken to many families who are really
00:21struggling with the cost of living in London. That's why we've got policies like free school
00:25meals, freezing fares, building more council homes and so forth to help them during this
00:29cost of living crisis. Anybody who thinks that things have improved because we are technically
00:35not in a recession, I don't think is living in the real world. And those in the Conservative
00:39party trying to give the impression that things are hunky-dory now, we've turned a corner,
00:43I think is in danger of a gaslighting the British public.
