- Today, I am announcing my plans
to become your next mayor of London.
I want to lead this incredible city in a new direction
which is why I have created my transform London
2021 plan of attack.
An innovative blueprint for success,
which I believe will revolutionise our city.
It consists of the following policies.
We will get London back to work
and reinvigorate the economy through clear communication
promoting tourism, stimulating key sectors
with extended job retention schemes including hospitality,
cutting business rates, removing congestion charges
and implementing science-based protocols
to safely get people back to London, to work, shop,
as well as continue to be immersed in our diverse
and admired culture.
As an entrepreneur, I believe I can understand the struggles
of our small and medium size enterprises,
which make up 98% of the economy
and prioritise these critical parts
of our commercial landscape to improve the city
for every one of its 9 million inhabitants.
We will put Londoners' health first
and create the fittest most resilient citizens in the world
who are physically and mentally robust,
always prepared for times of crisis.
We achieved this by proactively implementing
early health promotion and education activities,
advocating the benefits of a balanced diet,
daily exercise routines, smoking cessation,
and the avoidance of excessive drinking.
This topic is close to my heart.
As I spent the last nine years
putting my own learnings on diet, fitness,
addiction and mental health on full public display,
so others can learn from my successes and failures.
We will put science first
and make London safe again
by implementing a science-based
decision making led approach
when it comes to setting policies for education,
work, travel, and all social interactions.
We believe there's been a disproportionate response
to the coronavirus
that has caused the loss of countless lives
and ruined people's livelihoods.
Something that can be immediately remedied
by implementing intelligent,
fact-based policies moving forward.
We will put education first,
get London back to school
and ensure a bright future for our young people
and the socialisation they desperately need
for their development.
By removing the culture of fear
and implementing science-based protocols
to safely get our younger generation learning again
we will restore the daily structure of our families
staving off the risk of creating a lost generation.
We will make London green first
by removing on-street parking in central London
and replacing it with green spaces the public can enjoy.
Additional retail space to support businesses
and more room for pedestrian traffic
to encourage visitors to return to the city
and kickstart the economy.
It will also reduce traffic, speed up transportation,
and improve air quality for the city.
We will make London safe
by supporting the Met police
with more situation-based training protocols,
foster a new understanding, respect
and appreciation by the public
and a zero tolerance policy for knife crime and possession.
We will also implement proportional representation
in the Met police,
to build a force reflective of the communities it serves.
We will make London digital first
where high-speed broadband internet access
is free to all citizens and businesses.
Technology startups are supported, promoted and incubated
and all local council interactions
with small businesses are digitised
with quick response time in order to stimulate the economy.
We will fight for digital freedom of speech,
a fundamental human rights
in order to create a marketplace of ideas
where censorship is no longer tolerated
on our digital platforms,
thereby encouraging open debate and discussion
where all points of view can be considered,
argued and contested.
These ground-breaking policies
are real-world, practical solutions
that address the crucial issues we face as a city.
I am confident that if properly executed
these policies can make London
a world-class city once again.
However, I can't do it alone.
I will need the help of every citizen of this great city
working together towards our common goal.
You are the one that ultimately can help us
affect change in London and in every city around the world.
