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.
