Boris Johnson is currently on @LBC lying again to @NickFerrariLBC about his disastrous Garden Bridge. Far from being a & #39;viable plan& #39; killed off by Sadiq, it was dead in the water without the vital land permissions required let alone the necessary private sector funds to build it https://twitter.com/LBC/status/1200346402917928960">https://twitter.com/LBC/statu...
It is a shameful scandal that £43m of public money was poured into his flawed pet project in the face of multiple warnings from experts over years. Like so many @BorisJohnson episodes, the saga was characterized by dishonesty and cronyism.

Such cronyism of course is a feature of the allegations facing Johnson concerning Jennifer Arcuri. @LBC should ask him why he apparently gives his mates public money!
He or his senior leadership at the GLA and TfL met with the designer of the Garden Bridge Thomas Heatherwick at least EIGHT times before TfL& #39;s bridge design competition. Heatherwick then went on to win the competition. Scoring details which emerged later were highly suspicious
