Ridding America of this Terrorist would help to clean Global air.

👏👏👏 love to see this

Initially, but within 16000km (around 10,500 of your old Engllish miles) it is less polluting and that includes account for the battery disposal. And that's before the new breed of batteries that can now do up to 600 miles on one charge (although arguably substantially less still in the UK).

👏👏👏

Hello from Birmingham, amazing work. @cllrjohncotton.bsky.social Can we do that same please?

Congratulations!

Indian needs to learn from this.

Absolutely amazing!!! Well done Khan and team !!! Thank you!!

Carbon offset @nature.com ‘Black rain’ in Tehran — what are the health effects? Toxic smoke from burning oil depots has blanketed Iran’s capital following missile strikes. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This is Historic Mayor ish x

As someone who's lived in central London for almost 30 years I can testify to this truth. The change to air quality in the last few years is incredible and very noticable. Ulez works! No going back!!!

"But, as shown by the post mortem carried out by the eminent physician Dr William Harvey, the change in diet, with rich wines, and the pollution of the City were too much for Old Parr and he died within a few weeks of arriving in London." www.westminster-abbey.org/abbey-commem...

No doubt all to be dismissed by our right-wing media as 'wokery'. Thank you and congratulations.

Well done! Four 🐾 up, Mayor and Londoners!

Thank you.

This is an amazing achievement.

Fantastic

Well done, great achievement. More still to do but this makes it seem possible

But what about all those people whose polluting vehicles had to be replaced or have to pay ULEZ

Please do Liverpool next :)

Public service will beat ideology every time! Well done to all!

I’m in Leeds and it was always noticeably cleaner air here. Not any more. My most recent trip to London it was so much cleaner air there.

Excellent work, London thanks you👍🏼

A new late night venue (no planning permission) appealing to a car culture has opened on corner of our sleepy road in W12. Power cars race up and down all night. Others park up with engines idling, while the occupants eat. The emissions must be terrible. Labour council unable/unwilling to intervene.

Amazing what happens when you stop treating the atmosphere like an open sewer.

Thank-you - London’s air is soooo much better. My late mum coughed constantly, the doctors said it was the pollution. The air is noticeably better for future generations. Can you sort the lack of cycling infra now please! 😉

The only people calling London toxic are the Trump/Reform clan - who are really toxic !

When I was a kid, if you blew your nose after spending the day playing outside, your snot would be grey. We had to wash our faces every evening or the pillows would get stained. This is a win.

As a Londoner, I definitely notice there's less car pollution. Congestion charge made a huge difference as have electric vehicles - great not to be breathing in petrol fumes when cycling in traffic and cotton wool not black with soot when I clean my face.

Absolutely brilliant achievement. Well done!!

Cool — congratulations! Will you do the same for indoor air? You know, because #CovidIsAirborne, and #FluIsAirborne, and #MeaslesIsAirborne, and #RSVisAirborne, and #VirusFreeAir is not only entirely doable, but also has hugely positive externalities. 👍🙏🤞

This is why so many people voted for khan... He was the only serious candidate with a positive vision.

Truly something to justifiably shout out about in the face of huge opposition… Many congratulations!

Well done. But we do need to keep Reform out of London politics! They effectively represent the fossil fuel lobby.

trump and reform are going to have a meltdown over this.

Bloody socialism.

“San Francisco was the only US city that cut levels of both pollutants by more than 20%, “ How do the other cities justify that?

Remember the early months of the pandemic when nobody flew or drove anywhere. Remember how clear the air was? Yeah, we have the ability, just not the political will.

amazing things happen when jeremy clarkson isnt in charge of policy

Now as a founder of Liberty call out Starmer's abuse of public office and speak up for the up to 200+ year NHS waiting lists for trans women and girls. Speak up for the cover-up of trans kids who died from suicide because of Wes Streeting.

The residents of London don’t deserve clean air, that is only for the suburb dwellers /S

Well done mayor Khan! The word needs more people like you

Dockless hired e-bikes played a part by enabling 1 in 10 cycle journeys. Can you find a way to enable a pan-London scheme so that all Londoners can benefit?

Excellent

👏👏👏

More air cleanup work to come with Trump's Iran war with the horrible pollution and environmental degradation Trump is causing. The trump netanyahu assaults are global. Air flow is not static.

@andyburnham.bsky.social @debbieabrahamsmp.bsky.social Manchester and Oldham too please

No longer in London but remember running along the Thames back in 2004 and struggling to breathe. Also remember cycling from West Hampstead to Hammersmith and sleeve was caked in soot when I wiped sweat from forehead as I got to work. Couldn't have been much worse. Glad it's on the mend.

Well done London.

Pity you aren’t running the water companies Sadiq.

Ok Nige, why is this a bad thing?

I prefer to do my own 'research' 🤪

It’s easy for San Francisco to lower emissions when nobody lives there anymore

🚲🚲🚲 And if you want a repairable and eco-friendly e-bike battery, check out infinite-battery.com :)

A lot of the muck in the Underground is dust from train brakes. New trains will help as they have regenerative rather than friction brakes which reduces the amount of dust (and heat) dumped into the tunnels.

Please can we have cycle lanes in the Sydney suburbs ???

Thank you yet again Mr. Mayor!

Bet that isn’t reported on GBBeebies!

Some good news at last - well done!

As with any policy designed to improve lives. Some people will be unhappy about the change, sometimes for £ reasons, sometimes because they don’t agree with the change. I remember smokers kicking off when they made it illegal indoors. Benefit>Sacrifice

I was there last month - first time in 10 years after moving out of it in 03 - and the only issue I had was the traffic. Ugh. M25 had improved though.

As it was explained to me in undergrad Environmental Chemistry, there were 3 still days (either no wind, or not strong enough wind to clear the smoke) and 3,000 people died. Parliament was closed. This forced the writing of the UK's first Clean Air Act.

It would be really interesting to see if @rcem.ac.uk could do an analysis of acute respiratory attendances to Emergency Departments over those 9 years .

It's in a bowl

Where I live despite being only 2 miles from the London border, only 1 bus an hour after 7:30pm for a whole town of 50000. This is despite a frequent rail service till Midnight. As for lighting, it's very poor, can barely see who is walking down the street until they are next to you!

Thank you for resisting all the propaganda and vested interest groups trying to turn anti-pollution measures into a grievance narrative. This will ultimately save lives and make London and its surroundings a nicer place for everyone to live.

I wonder (do I need to?) what her American friend thinks of Donald Trump?

Water off a duck's back, fortunately.

And people need to clear off Meta-owned sites, don't you think?

A repeat worthy of a Reform adherent or Sun strapline.

This is great but also marks a very important point - there are no artificial stupidity data centers built around these cities. They should be illegal

Meanwhile bsky.app/profile/mick...

Brilliant news.

and all that while also having Sharia law! how remarkable 🤔😉

"It's too hard to fix" usually really means "we don't want to quit sitting on our hands & try"

Superb work. A cleaner, better future. I wonder how many people will avoid respiratory or other medical problems in future because of this achievement?

Now clean the stench coming from Parliament and Downing Street

Brilliant work. Generations of people will grow up with better health.

Stick that to you Farage and reform

Okay. But what's that got to do with Sadiq Khan? He has no authority over the expansion proposals and has spoken out against them.

the joke is that being able to do as much as 50 along there is often pure aspiration.

My point was it’s ironic driving past a busy airport where there’s another runway planned

👏👏👏👏👏and breathe

Mr.Mayor,we salute you in your efforts to play your part in rejuvenating the London area and making it a far healthier place to live and visit.Your critics on the right are strangely quiet and many who described London as being unsafe and fled to the UAE,have quietly returned for their own safety.

Brilliant work

It's a hell of an achievement but I reckon lockdown played a massive part. If the meningitis numbers rise enough it might trigger another. Hopefully it won't needed a viral outbreak to get another lockdown. We should have one every few years - ecologically speaking it shows us what was possible.

Huge congratulations Sir. You doggedly continued your mission despite all the racist slurs and insults. I'm immensely proud 🦚 of you.

Brilliant achievement though.

FAB but you need to clean the air inside too Sadiq.

People are allowed to smoke. You're allowed to avoid them. Grow up.

Plant more trees, Mr Mayor.

I would love to see this in German towns as well.

Incredible progress being made in cities! Congratulations!

Thank you 💚

🎉🎉🎉

Thank you!

@andyburnham.bsky.social You can do this if you don't immediately buckle to the slightest pressure from drivers.

While Putin and Trump have f--ked-up the rest of the world's atmosphere! 🙄

Fuuck yes. Good show.

Well done! A brave stand taken here.

Well done Sir!

keep going don't stop! ban cars, more public transport, 1500m communities. come on london.

In Pittsburgh, you went to work with an extra shirt because the pollution was so bad it would stain your clothes. They fixed it. One of the great lakes was so polluted it would catch fire. They fixed it. Auto graveyards once dotted the American landscape until Ladybird Johnson said get rid of them.

Brilliant and well done @

Whoo hoo! That is excellent progress 🤩🎉
