The far-right are sowing fear and division across the globe. Progressives must act by tackling online hate, challenging extremist rhetoric, and proving democracy can deliver for all. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The world's biggest clean air zone. Expanding the ULEZ wasn’t an easy decision, but evidence continues to show it was the right one for the health of millions of Londoners 💚 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Soho Society's decision to oppose all new and extended licence applications is the wrong one. New licensing powers from Government, alongside our plans to support London’s hospitality sector, will help protect venues and grow the capital’s late-night economy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's official: London is back at number one in Europe for tech - fuelled by our fast-growing AI, fintech and innovation sectors 🏆 This recognition reflects the strength of our talent, our brilliant businesses - and our ambition ⬇️ www.cityam.com/london-recla...

Music fans can look forward to a record-breaking summer in London ☀️ Our stadiums and venues will bring millions together to enjoy the best - including Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, Ariana Grande & more. This is why London is the undisputed capital of music. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

Ten years as Mayor of the greatest city in the world. Through huge challenges and unforgettable moments, it's the honour of my life to serve London - a city that gave the son of a bus driver from a council estate every opportunity. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Great news for Londoners, visitors and businesses across London: the planned Tube strikes this week have been suspended. Positive to see talks continue to find a resolution to this dispute.

Enjoyed speaking to @bylinetimes.bsky.social to discuss ten years of championing the most open, diverse and successful city in the world. As the rise in disinformation shows - London’s enemies resent us because of our enduring success ⬇️ bylinetimes.com/2026/05/12/s...

Londoners hopped on board ten years ago - and we've never looked back. After more than one billion Hopper journeys so far, the new Weekend Hopper arrives this summer. Pay once, travel all day 🐸

We’re still waiting for the full picture, but there’s no doubt that these election results are bitterly disappointing for Labour in London.

The @londonlabour.bsky.social family is incredible. ❤️ Thank you to the hundreds of volunteers, councillors, MPs, AMs & trade unionists who’ve been out speaking to Londoners over the last few days, weeks & months about how Labour in London is delivering for communities across our city.

Today is election day - and every vote matters. Across our city, Labour councils are delivering for Londoners every day - from building council homes to investment in local schools and opportunities for young Londoners. Polls are open until 10pm - remember photo ID. #DogsAtPollingStations

Labour councils in London are making our communities fairer, safer and greener. Labour councils are building the affordable homes our capital needs. Don’t risk it all tomorrow - vote Labour ⬇️ www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Now more than ever, we must stand by our Jewish friends, neighbours and colleagues. Jewish Londoners deserve to live without fear. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What City Hall has delivered with Londoners over the past ten years is just the start. Good to speak to @bloomberg.com about how we’ve cleaned our air, built homes for Londoners, delivered over one million free school meals and much more ⬇️ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Disinformation about London has become a global industry. The new “outrage economy” is growing - and it’s eating away at the bonds that hold our society together. That's why I'm calling for urgent action from social media companies and government.

NEW: Today I’m announcing plans to deliver at least one new late-night youth club in every London borough - the biggest investment in youth clubs ever made by a Mayor. We’re bringing youth clubs back. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Today is Palm Sunday, marking the beginning of Holy Week as we approach Easter. Today's procession across Trafalgar Square to St Martin-in-the-Fields is a powerful retelling of the story of Jesus’s arrival in Jerusalem.

The evidence is overwhelming: Brexit has been a disaster for London and the UK. Rejoining the EU is now clearly in our national interest. The option to rejoin should be on the ballot at the next General Election. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Today we’re launching London’s new Vision Zero road safety plan. I’m proud that the bold steps we’ve already taken have saved lives - helping make London’s roads safer faster than the rest of the UK and now safer than major cities like New York, Paris and Rome.

Keir Starmer is right to stand up to Donald Trump over Iran. While the brutal Iranian regime should rightly be condemned and international pressure applied, this war is not the right course of action.

I'm proud to lead a progressive region here in the West of England, working together to deliver change that people can see and feel. Sadiq's right: a brave and bold vision of hope can build on the government's trade deals for jobs, breakfast clubs for kids, and protections for renters.

🚨 NEW: Sadiq Khan has formally approved the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street

Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives. That’s the lesson from Gorton and Denton | Sadiq Khan

Sadiq is spot on. It is time for us to be braver in our Labour convictions and address voters fears’ not play on them.

Labour must cease taking progressive voters for granted, says Sadiq Khan

The threat to Labour is existential. The Labour government needs a real change in approach - and fast. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I have written to Criterion Capital expressing my deep concern at reports that they are mass evicting Londoners from their homes, and urging them to reconsider.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan says London Centric's investigation shows the need for greater regulation of the algorithms on sites such as TikTok to stop "bad faith actors spreading hate for clicks". "Accounts are talking London down because the algorithms reward them for doing so," he says.

‘Starmer has to stay. You wouldn’t sack a football manager after 35 minutes’ Mayor of London Sadiq Khan revisits the Tooting streets where he grew up, with Rachel Sylvester https://bit.ly/4chssZX

While critics talk London down, the facts tell another story: record-low murder rates and the fewest homicides of those under 25 this century. Our strategy is working. But one death is too many, and we’ll keep investing in the police and young Londoners. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

London’s homicide rate drops to lowest in more than a decade

London’s homicide rate per capita is the lowest since records began, with the fewest murders of those aged under 25 this century, thanks to relentless work by the Met Police and innovative prevention work by @london-vru.bsky.social

New figures show that the homicide rate in London is now the lowest in it's recorded history- with an 11% drop in the last year. This is thanks to the hard work of so many across London & the leadership shown by Sadiq Khan in leading with a tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime.

Great news. This opens up exciting opportunities for young people, giving Londoners, Brits & their European counterparts access to a wealth of possibilities. At a time of global uncertainty, strengthening our partnership with the EU is a win-win for growth and prosperity 💙💛

Sadiq Khan says Farage’s denial of teenage racism allegations ‘desperate’

My brothers and I relied on free school meals growing up. Proud that City Hall has now funded 100 million of them for London’s state primary school children ♥️

Racist abuse is never 'banter.' It’s racist abuse. I was on the receiving end growing up. It has a deep, lasting impact. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

NEW: Fantastic news for London - the DLR extension to Thamesmead is going ahead with Government backing. It’s something I’ve long called for, will create jobs for Londoners and help deliver tens of thousands of new homes across our city. www.cityam.com/reeves-to-gi...

Some people are desperate to downplay London - it fits their political agenda. The truth must hurt for them - because London has once again been crowned the greatest city in the world. And if, like me, you love our city, here’s my message ⬇️ www.lbc.co.uk/article/lond...

Mayors are doers - not delayers or deniers. Defenders - not wreckers. Across the world, cities are leading the charge: cutting emissions 5 x faster than the global average, creating millions of green jobs & improving health by tackling air pollution 🌍💚 www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

New Yorkers faced the choice between hope and fear, and just like we've seen in London, hope won. Huge congratulations to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on his historic campaign. Tonight you get your roti and your roses - enjoy!

London’s diversity doesn’t divide us - it makes us stronger. Ours is a city built on respect, resilience and shared humanity. Now, more than ever, we must resist the forces of division and come together ⬇️ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Now, more than ever, Londoners from all communities must stand together, show allyship to our Jewish friends and neighbours, and be united in our rejection of hatred.

When I was first elected as Mayor, evidence showed it would take 193 years to bring London's air pollution within legal limits. Due to our transformative policies, we've done it in 9 years - 184 years early. 💚 www.london.gov.uk/london-meets...

Violent crime with injury is down in every London borough thanks to record City Hall funding and the collective efforts of the police and @london-vru.bsky.social We’ll keep working with partners and the government to drive down crime and make London safer for everyone.

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
