BRIAN ROSE TAKES THE WHEEL OF LONDONS ICONIC BLACK CAB 👊🏼

London Mayor front runner Brian Rose has pledged to end the capital’s ‘war on cabbies’ if he is elected in the May 6th elections.
Rose, the founder of YouTube Channel London Real and the London Real Party, got behind the wheel of an iconic black cab for a flavour of the problems facing the city’s 18,000 cab drivers.

Under Sadiq Khan’s Mayorship, controversial lane closures have increased congestion, severely affecting cabs and buses just as much as private cars and delivery vehicles.

Rose’s route included the popular journey between Liverpool Street and London Bridge. He said: ‘My journey to London Bridge took almost three times longer than would be typically expected. With more traffic expected to return to our capital’s roads in the coming weeks, travelling in our city will become a snail’s pace nightmare.’
The area around Liverpool Street has been the focus of a legal battle between cabbies and Transport for London. In January, the High Court found Khan and TfL acted illegally in restricting access on the A10 in Bishopsgate, a decision TfL is expected to appeal, dragging the battle on – and pushing legal costs up.

Rose intends to revisit every Streetspace scheme rushed through by Khan under the cover of lockdown and ensure proper consultation is undertaken with all key stakeholders –including taxi representatives. He said: ‘I will end Khan’s war on cabs and put cabbies back at the heart of London Transport.’

UK-wide elections take place on May 6th, with Rose’s London Real Party fielding candidates in the capital’s Assembly election as well as his Mayoral bid.
