Caroline's news

Caroline took on the Mayor at Question Time over his support for the Silvertown road tunnel.

Caroline Pidgeon has criticised Sadiq Khan for the very slow rollout of interest-free childcare loans to the Greater London Authority's own employees, with just 35 having received the benefit in two and a half years.

Caroline told the Evening Standard:

“His actual record of delivery has been pitiful. There is a huge gulf between his words and actions.

“Over a period of more than 20 months he has provided childcare help for just 35 employees.

Writing for Liberal Democrat Voice, Caroline explains why scrutinising Boris Johnson for eight years at City Hall has convinced her he is unfit to be Prime Minister.

But apart from being reckless with public money, Boris always acted as though he was born to rule us all; he had an absolute right and did not respond well to scrutiny. When I asked him tough questions about the garden bridge, he described me as having a “Taliban-like hatred of objects of beauty.” He also patronised and spoke down to female assembly members, routinely mocking what they said.

Look at his real record and then ask the question of whether this person is fit to be Prime Minister.

My mind is clear, the answer is no.

Caroline had a great day in Merton on Sunday 2nd June campaigning for the fantastic Liberal Democrat candidate Jenifer Gould in the Cannon Hill ward by-election. It was fantastic to be joined by local Liberal Democrat councillors and GLA candidates.
