Earlier this month, Labour & Reform teamed up to vote down our motion to save London's green spaces. Watch Andrew Boff ask the Mayor of London 5️⃣ times whether he would rule out building on the city's parks - the Mayor's answer says it all 👇

Today we celebrate Armed Forces Day. On Thursday, City Hall hosted representatives from the Army, Navy and Royal Air Force and raised the flag. Chair of the London Assembly, Len Duvall AM OBE AM, and Assembly Members thanked them for their contribution to the city. @assemblychair
