From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadiq Khan<\/em><\/a>, his deputies and officials have racked up more than 430,000 air miles since he was first elected <\/em>London<\/em><\/a> Mayor in 2016, analysis shows.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0<\/em>Labour<\/em><\/a>\u00a0politician, who has positioned himself as a champion of environmental causes, attracted condemnation yesterday as he flew to the US for a climate summit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is expected to use the trip to promote his Ultra Low Emission Zone (<\/em>Ulez<\/em><\/a>), which he claims will reduce deaths caused by air pollution, after expanding the scheme last month.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He flew to New York with five aides to attend the UN General Assembly and take part in the Climate Ambition Summit and is also due to appear alongside <\/em>Prince William<\/em><\/a> at the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Khan is flying despite repeatedly saying he wants to clean up the air, and analysis shows his latest trip has sent the number of air miles clocked up by him and his team to 430,000.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is enough to fly around the world 17 times and is estimated to have pumped out 200 tons of carbon into the atmosphere.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest New York trip alone will account for 41,412 of the air miles total, when all six attendees and both legs of the journey are taken into account.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes after Mr Khan\u2019s \u2018Night Tsar\u2019 Amy Lame \u2013 tasked with helping London\u2019s nighttime economy thrive \u2013 jetted off to Sydney, adding a further 21,146 miles to the total. She attended the Neon international nighttime economy forum in May.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Khan faced criticism for a five-day trip to the US in May last year in which he was seen schmoozing with James Corden on a rooftop terrace bar in Los Angeles after visiting a cannabis factory.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
