It was wonderful to join @umakumaran.bsky.social to celebrate the completion of brand-new affordable homes at Stroudley Walk in Bromley-by-Bow. These homes include 82 at social rent levels funded by the Mayor of @london.gov.uk. www.eastlondonadvertiser.co.uk/news/2557791...

How short our memories are. Just a few years ago, nurses carried this country through a pandemic, and now they're suffering a 55% surge in racist abuse. To every nurse: London stands with you. You are loved and valued, and always will be.

I was delighted to join the Mayor @london.gov.uk and Councillor @peter-mason.bsky.social this morning to launch London's first Inclusive Talent Strategy with @londoncouncils.bsky.social Read the strategy ⬇️   www.london.gov.uk/InclusiveTalentStrategy

Today I’m launching my Inclusive Talent Strategy with London Councils, to ensure Londoners are equipped with the skills they need to succeed and not be left behind by AI. We’re putting employers in the driving seat, shaping a skills system that delivers the talent they need to grow. bit.ly/4oxbdqv

Technology is transforming our city in ways I couldn’t have imagined even nine years ago, and London is leading the way. With our new Inclusive Talent Strategy, I want to ensure all Londoners have the skills they need to succeed so no-one gets left behind.

There can be no hiding place for officers who abuse their position of trust within the Met police. I will continue to support and challenge the Commissioner to rid the Met of all those unfit to serve to deliver a safer and fairer London for all.

TfL is planning to retain the popular 310 bus route to the network. The service, introduced after a pledge from Mayor of London, will continue connecting key areas in North London with a direct service and helping to build a better, safer and greener London for everyone.

Great news - the London Living Wage is going up!  This morning I visited Mercato Mayfair, a Living Wage and #GoodWorkStandard employer, to meet Londoners who’ll benefit from the new rate of £14.80 an hour, up 6.9% from £13.85.  That’s a pay rise for over 150,000 Londoners.  (1/3) 🧵👇

Today is Restart a Heart Day ❤️ @london.gov.uk has announced £150k for @londonambulance.nhs.uk to install 200 new defibs in 84 neighbourhoods with no or limited access 🤝 Businesses in these areas – we need your help. Could you host a defib? 👇 www.londonambulancecharity.org.uk/london-neigh...

By supporting Londoners’ wellbeing at work, we’re also driving growth across our city. Because a healthy, supported workforce is essential to a strong, inclusive and sustainable economy. Let’s ensure mental health is a priority in every workplace. #GoodGrowth #WMHD2025

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay. London’s businesses play a key role in supporting people through uncertainty. Prioritising mental health helps build workplaces where people can thrive, even when times are tough. #WorkplaceWellbeing

My thoughts are with everyone affected by the attack in Greater Manchester today.

London is for everyone – and always will be.   Today @london.gov.uk has launched a powerful new Loved & Wanted video - a proud reminder that in our city: you are loved, you are wanted and you belong here.   Please take a moment to watch and share 👇

📢High blood pressure is a leading preventable cause of death in the country - but 37% of London adults don't know their blood pressure. At Black on The Square this Saturday, Londoners can get a free BP check thanks to Blood Pressure UK and Kinetik Wellbeing 👇 www.london.gov.uk/events/black...

St Martin’s Lane in the West End is just one of four locations to welcome outdoor dining thanks to my £300,000 Summer Streets fund. When it comes to supporting London’s restaurants, bars and cafes to go al fresco, we’re just getting started.

We’re living in increasingly divisive and uncertain times, and I know the worry and concern that this is having in our communities. That’s why I’m committed to working in close partnership with communities and the police to ensure everyone in the capital feels, and is, safe and welcome.
