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.

NEW: Many people have been trying to talk London down, but the evidence tells a very different story.   Last year saw:   The lowest homicide rate since records began   The fewest homicides of those aged under 25 this century

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...

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.
