London has been awarded the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize 2026. This prestigious award is global recognition of the work we’ve done to build a better London for everyone. This shows what we can achieve when we work together. youtu.be/PPQD2EZC2oY

Everyone is going to want to beat us in the Championship, the big scalp. The club needs a reset, didn’t have this biblical narrative in mind tbh. Gonna be disappointed if we don’t go down now 😂 Onwards. Downwards. Rain or shine or shitstorm. Up the Spurs

No matter the embarrassment, misery or goading from rival fans, none of us are going to wake up one morning and turn our backs on them. As much as we hate what the club has become, it’s still our club. Every broken part of it.

Can’t control the football, can’t control any of it. So I’m left with one undeniable truth - I belong to this football club regardless and in spite of everything and anything. They chose me. There’s no escape. It’s my identity. I’ll always support them.

Beavers are back in London 🦫 Here's how (and why) we did it ⬇️

NEW: London has recorded its lowest homicide rate since records began. The evidence is clear - our approach to tackling violent crime is working.

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

Thanks Sadiq! (No really, thanks)

Once more for the haters...

This is really cool. When you see the storks at Knepp they feel pre-historic. This is basically bringing dinosaurs to Dagenham. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

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...

I welcome the Government's commitment to push forward with these plans, which I've lobbied for for more than a year. This would be a major victory for Londoners.

NEW: Plans are underway for a tourist levy to supercharge London's economy. It could raise *millions* to fund major improvements in our city. London is the greatest city in the world, but there’s always more to do! A tourist levy would make it an even better place to live and visit for everyone.

New data shows that since @mayoroflondon.bsky.social launched the Direct Vision Standard lorry safety scheme in London we've seen: 📉a 50% fall in people killed & seriously injured by HGVs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️six fewer fatalities every year tinyurl.com/j3475ua3

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

The latest figures show robbery, theft, residential burglary and knife crime are down in London, but there's still a long way to go before I’m satisfied. Backed with record funding from City Hall, the Met is putting high-visibility policing at the heart of fighting crime.

Yeah that got me 😢🤍

I cracked and hunted down a video of the Sarr goal. You’re welcome.

A legend, and a winner.

This is England!

England's Lionesses have got to three major finals out of three! England's women and men have got to five finals in the 2020s - by 2025!

This is England!

Always particularly satisfying to beat a team doing so much time wasting. Great spirit to reach the third major final in a row. What a team!!

Just heard someone pronounce ‘simultaneously’ as ‘ Simon Taneously’ and now I’m using that forever.

🚀@london.gov.uk just launched something big for city #data & urban #AI - the Data for London Library - transforming city data to improve public services. ✅ 5,100+ datasets ✅ Connects (not collects) public bodies & gvt datasets ✅ Built for AI revolution www.ukauthority.com/articles/dat... 1/5

Climate adaptation - which is what Duncan is describing here - is partly about infrastructure, but it is also a lot about culture. And I guess shifting your culture starts with acknowledging that your country's climate has changed and isn't going back...

🚀 London Data Week is HERE July 7-13 sees London transform into a data playground where data becomes accessible, creative and community-centered. This isn't your typical tech conference, @london.gov.uk and Alan Turing Inst have bootstrapped over 50+ inspiring community-led events 🧵1/7

How on earth is it only Tuesday?

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.

The transformation of the dangerous gyratory at Highbury Corner aimed to make the roads safer and increase walking and cycling. 🚲Cycling is up by 24% 🚶 Walking is up by 8% 🚑 Collisions have fallen by 50% 💚👏 @tfl @islington-council.bsky.social

Elections in Israel cannot come soon enough.

For those who need to know.. let me fill in the blanks

Highly auspicious! Your timeline has been visited by Emotionally Available Europa League Champion James Maddison, return his fist bump for good luck 👊

This is the last week you can comment on the consultation on the future of Oxford Street in London. We all want Oxford Street to be better - so don't miss out on being part of the chance to shape it. Only takes a couple of mins to fill it out too! haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/oxford-street

Boris Johnson thinks reforms to academy schools/VAT on private education are a bigger issue than Andrew Tate and online influencers. Writing in the Mail, the former PM places no emphasis on the commitment or presence of fathers for bringing up sons, unlike other writers on this topic.

Context: his closest advisor, the person who knows everything about him, is now suspected of espionage and money laundering.

There’s a great interview with Nick Park about Wallace And Gromit in last month’s Empire, and this bit in particular stood out. It sums up what artists have been trying to say about AI. The mistakes and the learning aren’t things to be bypassed, but a vital part of the process 🤟

Solutions not Sides bring nuance, care, thoughtfulness and humanity to conflict in the Middle East. Give them a follow on here!
