The London promise: if you work hard, and get a helping hand, you can achieve anything.

Over the next four years - City Hall will do our utmost to be that helping hand - and ensure London becomes a byword for opportunity again.

Great to be joining this winning team, to deliver on such a positive platform to make London a fairer, safer and greener city. To make it the great city on earth to grow up in.

Thanks to everyone who voted for us last Thursday and who made it possible🌹

Greatest city in the world, best job in the world. ❤️🙏🏿

It's the honour of my life to serve the city I love for a third term as Mayor.

Let's get to work.

“This latest review seems to be another desperate attempt from the Government to do down our capital”

Sakina Sheikh AM says Michael Gove is using the London Plan as a political football to distract from the Government’s failures to meet their housing targets

I grew up on a council estate. I know firsthand how the security of a council home transforms families’ lives.

London is delivering the highest number of council homes since the 1970s.

If I'm re-elected, we'll deliver 40,000 more by the end of the decade.

The Government is dragging their feet on second staircase rules.

This means thousands of homes that could be built are being held up.

@sakinazs says Londoners need new homes now- we can't delay any longer. ⬇️

76% of people want urgent action on the #ClimateCrisis - but the Government has not stepped up, but back. Glad Sadiq Khan steps up

Left Foot Forward's newest columnist is London Assembly member Unmesh Desai AM.

In his first column he explains the reforms that are needed to restore trust in the Metropolitan Police: leftfootforward.org/2024/03/one-ye…

Just 22% of people trust the Government to tackle the climate crisis.

Leonie Cooper AM says again, where the Government fails, Sadiq Khan steps up.

But denial of the climate crisis is dangerous and divisive in our city.

The Government’s mismanagement of the economy has left Londoners cold.

Marina Ahmad AM points out that where the Government has failed to support Londoners and London’s businesses, the Mayor has stepped up, especially with free school meals.

Sadiq and Labour will keep working until our city is a place where:

Opportunity is extended to all.

Respect is demanded from all.

And safety is guaranteed for all.

Sadiq is announcing today £15.6million for specialist help for young Londoners who are vulnerable to, caught up in, or exploited by criminal gangs.

Labour in City Hall is relentlessly focused on building a safer London for everyone.
