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.
It's official Proposals to pedestrianise Oxford Street will move ahead
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.
Was good to be with @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social, Sir Mark Rowley, @kayaschwartz.bsky.social & international city leaders at London’s first VAWG Summit. @london.gov.uk is ensuring that #London takes a leading role to progress gender equality and tackle the epidemic of violence against women & girls.
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.

A graphic with a blue sky background and white clouds. The text reads: "Harmful NO2 levels are estimated to be lower in 2024 compared to a scenario without ULEZ". The reductions are listed as follows: Central London – 54% lower, Inner London – 29% lower, Outer London – 24% lower. A source link at the bottom reads: london.gov.uk/ulez.
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.
