Good interview in the paper, this. I think Sadiq is right: London 'needs' to be less successful than it is for a bunch of political arguments here in the UK to work, hence the fictions being invented about it:
Populists attack London because it is ‘progressive and successful’, says Sadiq Khan
Rightwing attacks on one of the world’s most visited cities at odds with reality, says mayor

Current issues with AI data centers bring this into sharper focus, but I've long found it kinda odd that grid operators treat pretty much all demand equally, whether it's a hospital or bitcoin mining, and generally spread the cost of interconnecting new loads over all ratepayers (aka you and me).

There's a fair bit of "what were Chelsea doing selling Madueke" subtext in this piece and, well, he has vindicated that in a particularly unhelpful way
