Where they stand

Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 16 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.

Housing

Will I be able to afford to live here?

Morgan would cut admin overhead from homelessness contracts, write long-term fair contracts, and publish honest outcome measures.

  • Would cut administrative overhead out of the City's homelessness-service contracts to get money to front-line workers
  • Would write watertight, fair, long-term contracts that treat homelessness as a long-term human crisis, not a line item re-litigated every budget cycle
  • Would publish honest public measurement so Londoners can see what is working and what isn't

“Watertight, fair, long-term contracts that treat homelessness as the long-term human crisis it is, not a line item to re-litigate every budget cycle.”

Taxes & spending

What happens to my tax bill, and where does the money go?

This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.

Would not prioritize low property taxes; keeping taxes reasonable and fair matters more than cutting them at all costs

  • Asked whether keeping property taxes low is a priority for her; she called it an unfair question and said City Hall streamlining should make a tax break possible.
“I said no because it's not a high priority, but I think this is an unfair question. The right answer is maybe. Not low at all costs, but definitely people need a break and streamlining City Hall should make that possible.”

Would prioritize municipal needs over limiting tax increases; wants a review of whether property taxes are the fairest revenue tool

  • Asked whether she would prioritize any municipal needs over reducing or limiting property-tax increases; she also questioned whether the property-tax system is the fairest way to generate revenue.
“Yes. That's more like it. What I just said, plus... if we can afford to own homes, we are doing better than a lot of our neighbours. Keeping taxes reasonable is more in line with what I think. Potentially making them more fair. Looking at the property tax rate in the same way we look at other sources of government revenue: is this the most fair way to generate income, in 2026? When is the last time we've taken a system-wide look at how they're calculated, how they're spent?”

Emergency services

When I call for help, will it come fast enough?

Not reviewed yet. Know something?

Transit

Can I get where I need to go without driving?

Commits to personally using transit for City business and expects other elected officials to do the same.

  • Asked how she would improve transit connections, Morgan said BRT should help and committed to personally using transit for City business.
  • Would set the same expectation for other elected representatives, arguing leaders better understand transit problems by sharing them.

“BRT should help. I’ll personally commit to using transit for City business, and creating expectations for other elected representatives to do the same. We’ll better understand the problems with getting around by sharing those problems with the rest of London.”

Government

Will decisions be made in the open, and will anyone answer for them?

This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.

Morgan: consultation must be genuine, leading to outcomes — 'money goes to the front line where it belongs.'

  • Pillar Nonprofit Network 2026 candidate survey — Q9: Ensuring nonprofits are included in decision-making.
“Open dialogue, honest public conversations about expectations vs. realities. I don't believe the general public can't understand how the complex structures that NFPs operate in ultimately undermine what many are trying to achieve. We can have these hard conversations and work together to re-draft policies, contracts and bylaws to make sure money goes to the front line where it belongs. Consultation matters, but it needs to be genuine consultation, leading to outcomes, not reports and checkmarks in boxes.”

(several paragraphs)

Confidence:High

Morgan would run one honest review of City Hall's systems and hold monthly public meetings.

  • Would conduct 'one honest review' of how the City runs — bylaws, policies, contracts, meetings, administration — asking: is it working, can people understand it, is there waste, is it fair
  • Every bylaw, notice, contract and budget in plain language; transparent, even-handed bylaw enforcement and less over-regulation for small businesses
  • Shorter council meetings, fewer closed-door sessions, and a public meeting every month somewhere different in the city
  • Running for one term only, by choice: 'No re-election math, just the honest work of handing the city over in better shape'
“One honest review of how the City runs, and everything it unlocks.”

Confidence:High

Morgan says 'undue administrative burden' is imposed on nonprofits by government accountability agendas.

  • Pillar Nonprofit Network 2026 candidate survey — Q6: Biggest challenges facing the nonprofit sector & actions candidates would support.
“The undue administrative burden on NFPs imposed to receive and maintain funding through government for services the government asks NFPs to provide on its behalf. The corresponding negative public sentiment toward NFPs resulting from "accountability agendas" which disproportionately target NFPs while ignoring other institutions - government departments and emergency services are a couple of examples - that are not expected or repeatedly asked to account for value for money paid.”

Roads & infrastructure

Economy

Will our main streets and local jobs thrive?

Says fair, evenly applied bylaws matter more than incentives for attracting business and talent.

  • Asked what the City should do to support business growth and talent retention, Morgan blamed systemic barriers: poorly drafted, unevenly applied bylaws and contracts that don't deliver intended results.
  • Says there's no need to incentivize people or businesses to come, stay or grow when the rules of the game are fair, easy to understand and evenly applied.

Environment

Is the candidate protecting the nature we live in?

Would link up safe bike lanes and clear sidewalks properly instead of forcing people into cars.

  • Asked about the Climate Emergency Action Plan, Morgan pointed to pedestrian infrastructure: linking up safe bike lanes and clearing sidewalks properly in winter.
  • Calls it nonsensical to force people into cars by making other travel choices impossible; commits to biking, running and walking for work herself.

“Let’s start by making sure the pedestrian infrastructure we already have makes better sense – link up the safe bike lanes for one thing – and clear the sidewalks properly in winter. The idea we force people into cars for everything by making it impossible for them to make other choices is nonsensical.”

Social & community services

Who looks after the most vulnerable residents?

This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.

Morgan backs NFPs with a social-enterprise element that generate revenue for front lines.

  • Pillar Nonprofit Network 2026 candidate survey — Q11: The nonprofit sector's role & what success looks like.
“I'm impressed by any NFP with a social enterprise element, so whatever we can do to help NFPs generate revenue for their front lines that does not add so much administrative burden that the bottom line doesn't change is the kind of progress I would like to see.”

Backs a systemic review of existing partners and programs to fix homelessness and public-safety silos.

  • Asked how the City, police, health system and partners should divide homelessness and public-safety work, Morgan called for a systemic review of what existing partners are doing, what's working, and how the pieces fit together.
  • Wants transparency and accountability for everyone — service providers, institutional partners, contractors and City staff — plus breaking down silos, and more honest assessment from people with lived experience.
“Systemic review of what the partners we already have to help those who need support are doing, what’s working, and how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together is the only way we move forward. We foster real solutions through transparency, accountability for everyone (not just service providers, but larger institutional partners, private contractors, and City staff themselves), and breaking down the silos each of us work in.”

Arts & culture

Does the candidate value what makes this place feel alive?

Calls arts and culture primary economic drivers, not 'nice to haves'; wants their impact quantified.

  • Asked what role arts, culture and creative industries should play, Morgan said they are primary economic drivers in London and must be treated as such, not as 'nice to haves' or an afterthought.
  • Says the City rarely quantifies artists' impact on job creation, foot traffic in overlooked neighbourhoods, and spending at local venues.

“Arts and culture are primary economic drivers in London and we need to treat them as such and not as “nice to haves” or an afterthought. We “celebrate” our artists, musicians, actors, producers, etc. but we rarely quantify the impact their efforts and talents have on job creation, bringing people to parts of town that are looking for traffic, and to local venues where they can also socialize and spend money.”
