An online petition launched by Uber urging Sadiq Khan to reverse the decision to strip its London licence has been signed by tens of thousands of people in the space of a few hours.

Save Your Uber in London was set up on the Change.org website and urges the public to "defend the livelihoods of 40,000 drivers - and the consumer choice of millions of Londoners".

It said the app's customers would be "astounded by the decision".

As of 14:20 this afternoon it had been signed by more than 30,000 people.

The petition added: "By wanting to ban our app from the capital, Transport for London and the Mayor have given in to a small number of people who want to restrict consumer choice.

"If this decision stands, it will put more than 40,000 licensed drivers out of work and deprive millions of Londoners of a convenient and affordable form of transport.

"This decision is affecting the real lives of a huge number of honest and hard-working drivers in London."
