A campaign to keep Bromley in London has been launched after Nigel Farage suggested the borough may leave the city. Farage, the Reform UK leader, predicted a possible referendum on carving away Outer London boroughs from the capital. Labour MP Liam Conlon has started the campaign, arguing that Bromley belongs in London and that leaving would deprive residents of benefits such as free bus travel for the elderly and funding for local facilities. Conlon has set up a petition to present to Parliament. Farage's comments were made while campaigning with Reform UK members, and his party has also suggested Havering and Barking and Dagenham could quit the city. Some of London Mayor Sadiq Khan's policies, such as the Ulez ultra-low emission zone, have been divisive in Outer London.
