Mr Khan also said the government was "levelling down our city and abandoning Londoners just when they need more support". He added: "Against the backdrop of more than a decade of cuts to local services, Londoners are facing a triple whammy of energy price hikes, tax increases and rising inflation."The Liberal Democrats have been contacted for comment.
