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...

Today, thousands of Londoners and visitors are seeing Oxford Street in a whole new light: traffic-free, full of music, great food, pop-ups and entertainment for everyone. And doesn't it look amazing! ☀️🌳

President Trump has fanned the flames of the far-right. And now a toxic form of politics is spilling out onto our streets. These are dark times, but those who seek to divide us will not win. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Prominent figures in the US & UK deliberately talk down our country & capital city. Yet the latest evidence is clear: a record number of US citizens are now applying for UK citizenship. For many Americans I speak with, it’s because of our values. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We must unite against those who seek to divide us.

NEW: There have been nearly 10,000 fewer offences of violence with injury over the past 12 months, compared to the same period when I first became Mayor. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

Hate crime, extremism and intolerance have no place in London. That’s why I’m continuing to fund grassroots community groups which will benefit Londoners, giving them the skills they need to fight extremism and stand up to hate. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This year’s Notting Hill Carnival again captured the very best of our capital city. A city where we believe that our diversity is a strength to be celebrated. A London without Carnival is unthinkable. bylinetimes.com/2025/08/26/s...

London’s story is one of resilience, success and optimism - not decline as fearmongers portray. From cleaner air to better transport, vibrant culture to lower crime - here's some key facts ⬇️ bylinetimes.com/2025/08/13/t...

Dear Britain, it’s now clear: 20mph zones save lives and don’t slow traffic. Implement them | Sadiq Khan

The evidence is clear: 20mph zones save lives and don’t slow traffic ⬇️ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.

International students contribute hugely to London’s economic success. Pulling up the drawbridge to international talent would be an act of self-harm. www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...

I’ve had serious concerns about the impact of the Government’s welfare reforms on thousands of disabled and vulnerable Londoners. I’m pleased the Government has started to listen and take on board what disability groups, campaigners and others have been saying about the impact of this bill.

Climate disinformation fuels division, delays action, and endangers lives. In London and Paris, we’re standing firm. Cities need governments, tech giants and the media to join us in tackling disinformation and protecting our planet. #LCAW2025 🌍 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

My response to the government’s Spending Review ⬇️

A new youth mobility scheme with the EU would boost growth not only in London, but across Britain and Europe. Amid global uncertainty, closer EU ties are a win-win for our future prosperity. www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...

Sir David Attenborough is a guiding light in our work to make London a more sustainable city. From our parks to our rivers, his influence can be felt across our green and blue spaces. Honoured to take part in this piece to mark his birthday this week 🌏⬇️ www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

As the Mayor to a city of more than one million Catholics, I want to express my sadness, and the sadness of all Londoners, at the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. He was a man of courage and humility who demonstrated how cooperation between faiths was a force for good.

Wishing everyone celebrating today a Happy Easter! For Christians, Easter is the most sacred time of the year. It’s a time to come together, with family, friends, and church communities, and remember Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice.

A new youth mobility scheme with the EU would boost economic growth and provide exciting opportunities for young people. At a time of so much global uncertainty deepening our partnership with EU partners is a win-win for our growth and prosperity. www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump...

"You've got the success of most successful cities and countries by embracing difference... Building bridges is the way to break down fear, prejudice, ignorance, but also to be successful in terms of the economy, culturally, socially, and morally as well."— @london.gov.uk youtu.be/8PXIk77n-5E

"A trade war between China and the USA is bad for all of us. I think a trade war between the USA and EU is bad for all of us. I think protectionism, nativism, unilateralism is bad for everyone...When the USA embraces the world, I think the world benefits."— @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social

It was an honour to speak at the Lord Mayor's Eid al-Fitr dinner, in support of the Royal Foundation's efforts to end homelessness. This event provides a wonderful opportunity to strengthen the ties between London and businesses across the Muslim world.

Fantastic news for London! This significant decision on licensing powers will allow us to do more to support the capital’s pubs, clubs, music venues and other parts of the visitor and tourist scene. news.sky.com/story/boost-...

New research shows that Islamophobic and racist abuse has surged online. Here's just a snapshot my team has put together of the kinds of messages I receive on a daily basis. I highlight this because I'm worried about the impact on young people. A thread 🧵

First taste of caffeine for a month. A flat white has never tasted so good! ☕️ #EidMubarak

As Eid celebrations begin worldwide, I want to pay tribute to London’s Muslim communities for their charity and invaluable contribution, which help make our capital the greatest city in the world. From my family to yours: #EidMubarak

No child in London should grow up facing the possibility of stunted lungs, asthma, or other severe respiratory disorders. Londoners deserve clean, safe air. Good to speak to Dr Hilary Jones about why the ULEZ is so important - and the difference it's making.

London's creativity and culture are at the heart of our city. A special evening at tonight's @sohohouse.bsky.social iftar - celebrating the contributions of Muslim Londoners in these vibrant industries. #Iftar    #RamadanMubarak

Thanks to London Mayor Sadiq Khan & the ULEZ we are seeing huge reductions in harmful and dangerous emissions across London. In the Borough of Hounslow alone nitrogen dioxide dropped by 14%. This will make a huge difference to the health of londoners. 1/2 www.standard.co.uk/news/transpo...

Today, our CEO David Mooney joined a roundtable at Walthamstow Wetlands to discuss restoring and protecting London’s waterways. We’re committing £800K over 2 years for river and nature recovery, working with communities and the Mayor to deliver real change. @london.gov.uk

Today our work to transform Oxford Street has taken another step forward. We’re developing our proposals to unlock its full potential - creating jobs, boosting growth, and delivering a beautiful, world-class avenue. www.cityam.com/oxford-stree...

Two years ago today I announced we’d provide free school meals for all children at state primary schools in the capital. I’m hugely proud of all the policy has achieved - improving children’s health and wellbeing, improving educational outcomes, & saving families up to £1000.

🎉We launched #LondonsInclusionCharter a year ago with @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social, @mayoroflondon.bsky.social 🤝The Charter is working in partnership with schools, young people and families, to keep children safe and supported so they belong and thrive in school. ➡️Find out more: bit.ly/4gozKJV

My Kilburn Times article about outer London needing more step free stations. With Harrow-on-the-Hill & Sudbury Hill already delivered, glad to see feasibility studies for Neasden & Alperton announced. @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social restarted the step free programme after Boris Johnson paused it.

Fair pay, secure jobs, safe workplaces, and proper rights for workers must be non-negotiable. @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social explains why improving employment standards is a win for everyone. ✊🌹 www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The beavers we helped reintroduce to West London have officially been named by Ealing schoolchildren: meet Woody and Willow, and their kits Chompy and Chewy 🦫 Our Rewild London fund is restoring nature and creating climate resilience across the capital 🌍

Five years on from Brexit, London remains a European city, where European Londoners are valued and cherished. You are our neighbours, colleagues, friends and loved ones. Thank you for making London your home. You are wanted here—and always will be.

I’ve announced a record £10m in funding to tackle rough sleeping so we can end it in London by 2030. This investment will help more Londoners stay off the streets with access to support and long term housing to rebuild their lives.

This is my three-point plan for standing up to the far right and the billionaire bullies | Sadiq Khan

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...

A mentor can play a vital role in the life of a young person, guiding them when they most need it. I’m proud that City Hall & our VRU has funded support for 100,000 young Londoners. Today at Chance UK I met young people & the mentors who are making a difference in their life.

As we head into Christmas, a special thank you to the thousands of NHS, emergency service, transport staff and keyworkers who will be working in the days ahead to keep our city safe and running. Wishing you a very Happy Christmas.
