Born and raised in Tooting, he began his career as a human rights lawyer before being elected to parliament in 2005. It revealed that hundreds of the capital’s primary schools were in areas where pollution breached the EU’s legal limits. Blending in anecdotes about his background and political career makes this journey of discovery feel genuinely real and relatable.

It was Cop26 in Glasgow and I seemed to be having a heart attack," the book, which is published this week, says. There is more enjoyment to be garnered from sticking a wet finger in a plug socket than perusing this verbiage. Mr Khan told the newspaper on Monday that "it probably was a minor heart attack" but "I'm fine", adding: "The key thing is that I’m following the advice and looking after my physical health and mental health and eating sensibly.Evidently, grandstanding in Paris, and Delhi does more to reduce pollution in London than does building small railway line extensions in Hertfordshire. Summer is that long-awaited spell of doing nothing and everything, whether that’s lazy days of lounging in the garden, drink in hand and soaking up the sun, or weeks of meticulously scheduled activities, so as to not squander the good weather. They also, when I looked, seem to be accounts that only make negative reviews to anything climate related.

However, he has also come in for criticism for allowing the Silvertown Tunnel, a new four-lane road tunnel under the River Thames, to go ahead.Kuang has penned a dark and magnetising satire that takes a magnifying glass to an industry that has always appeared amorphous and opaque to the majority but, in Yellowface, we see it all (though mostly the bad and ugly). Tooting, Crouch End and Islington, all London postcodes with well-deserved reputations for being the home of GUARDIAN-reading Twitterati.

I read this book expecting it to be a serious work on air quality, however what I found was a complete work of fiction.Join Sadiq for this memorable evening and hear him demonstrate how anyone - whether voter, activist or politician - can win the argument on climate. I’ve heard amazing things about These Impossible Things by Salma El-Wardany, so I want to read that too. As mayor he sought out new ways to tackle air pollution and he met the mother of a nine-year-old, Ella Kissi-Debrah, who died from an asthma attack on February 15, 2013. This informs Khan’s approach to cleaning London’s air, protecting the city’s most vulnerable communities from the worst carbon emissions and ordinary Londoners from the harshest economic costs of change.

Khan outlines the measures and campaigns that were issued to grow the understanding of Londoners to this issue of air pollution- from graphic campaigns depicting soot, stating, ‘If you could see London’s air, you’d want to clean it too. That’s the conclusion of Sadiq Khan’s alarming new book, Breathe: Tackling the Climate Emergency, which he publicised last night at a 90-minute event held in the Royal Festival Hall. He is also generous in describing his (by his own admission long-suffering) staff, referring to them by name and citing their forbearance in putting up with his incessant texting. From time to time there are changes to event details so we strongly recommend that if you plan to attend this event you check back on this listing on the day of the event. Khan’s book Breathe, which will be released in 2023, will outline seven ways in which “environmental action gets blown off course”, said publisher Hutchinson Heinemann.With the above in mind, when this book was recommended to me I was afraid it would all go over my head, or that, being written by a politician, it might be full of blame and divisiveness. Aged 43, he was unexpectedly diagnosed with asthma, which his GP explains has become an increasingly common consequence of poor air quality in the city.
