No candidate has come out with strong policy ideas for London's mature trees.
There's a HUGE gap in understanding how crucial mature trees are and the need to protect them.

I, as a disabled therapist, am reminding you that you don't have a mental illness for taking COVID precautions. There's no such thing as 'COVID anxiety.' This is a BSL 3 pathogen that spreads through the air. It can cause severe damage to your body. It's normal to not want this.

You're going to see a lot of weirder and weirder behavior this year. Here's a helpful framework:
