Incredible turnout and atmosphere in Budapest as huge crowds march in defiance of Viktor Orbán. Mayor Karácsony has shown tremendous leadership, and the organisers huge courage. It was an honour to march in solidarity with Hungary’s LGBTQI+ community.

The results are in. The vast majority of Londoners and major businesses back our exciting plans for Oxford Street, so I'm pleased to confirm that we will now be moving ahead as quickly as possible.

Great to visit the new police touchdown base in the West End. The @thecrownestate.bsky.social New West End MPSWestminster and MOPAC collaboration allows officers to spend more time on the streets by providing dedicated space to operate without returning to police stations #partnership

Important discussion this morning at the Police and Crime Committee focusing on areas including shoplifting, anti-social behaviour and reducing reoffending. The Mayor of London and I continue to support and challenge the Commissioner in delivering his vital New Met for London reforms.

When people told us we couldn’t tackle toxic air pollution—we did it. When people told us we couldn’t fund free school meals for our kids—we did it. Together, we can help end rough sleeping in London by 2030.

ULEZ works. It’s that simple. Expanding the Ultra Low Emission Zone wasn’t a decision I took lightly, but the latest figures show that it was the right one for the health of millions of Londoners.
