The taxpayer has fronted tens of thousands for Sadiq Khan to host African businesses in City Hall after he flew to African countries last year for a ‘trade mission.’ Could all of this have been a Zoom call? The Mayor’s office said:“The final costs of the London-Africa Business Summit are still being reconciled, but are expected to total around £28,000. These costs covered catering, production, and BSL interpretation and palantypists. London taxpayers – who have shelled out over £100,000 on Khan’s Africa stunts – have yet to find out if Khan wants to run for mayor again.
