and Lumley's vanity project
Great news: Today Sadiq Khan refused to underwrite the maintenance costs of Boris Johnson's Garden Bridge Folly. Hopefully his decision will have effectively killed off this ludicrous and expensive folly that has wasted at least £43 million of taxpayers money with absolutely nothing to show for all this expense.
Sadiq Khan now should hold a proper inquiry into how this happened and what lessons can be learned.

That £43million would probably have paid for cataract surgery for every person on the waiting list in the UK, transforming their lives virtually overnight. A shocking waste of public money.
My father waited ten months for his NHS cataract operation. At his age, 88, ten months of not being able to read the paper, see the TV, drive, see the numbers on his phone, the change in his picket and the death date on the food in his fridge is a miserable way to live.
Shame on Boris Johnson.
