That's nearly £90 more than Boris Johnson's mayoralty cost you.

As Mayor, Boris Johnson froze his share of your council tax bill between 2008-12 and cut it by 10% between 2012-16.

Why does Sadiq Khan cost you more?

Labour Mayors cost more. In office, both Ken Livingstone and Sadiq Khan put our city's taxes up every single year. In total, London's Labour Mayors will have put our city's taxes up by 195%.

Sadiq Khan is misleading Londoners by claiming he has no alternative but to but to tax you more. Since 2016, he has chosen to make Londoners pay more instead of cutting waste, bureaucracy and spin at City Hall.
