The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has been slammed after offering grants in an attempt to “decolonise” the capital.
Mr Khan’s new scheme will see £25,000 grants for Londoners who want to change the name of their road.
Leader of Reform UK Richard Tice told talkRADIO’s Mike Graham that the grants were the wrong approach to take.
He said that Sadiq Khan was launching a £1m Black Lives Matter-inspired campaign, while “making life much much harder and more expensive for decent working people”.
Mr Tice explained: “Sadiq Khan is trying to get rid of perfectly fine street names that have been there for decades.
“There might be some isolated examples. But it’s like the statues. He has this expensive commission to get rid of some statues.
“You just think, why? Let’s celebrate great, new achievers. Get new statues. But you don’t need to get rid of old statues.”
