London is a great city – one of the greatest in the world, BUT it is also the mostunequal city in the developed world. More than a quarter of Londoners live inpoverty, the majority of them in working families. Low wages and soaring housingcosts (rents have increased by 19 per cent in the last five years) are making life harderfor working people to get by.

Now more than ever London needs a Mayor that will stand up for all Londoners – not just the wealthiest few.

Sadiq wants all Londoners to have the same opportunities that our city gave him; ahome they can afford, good jobs with decent pay, an economy that works for all andan affordable and modern transport system. That’s why Unite is backing Sadiq.
