I want to make #London the best city in the world to grow up in. At my first Mayor's Question Time today, I asked Sadiq Khan about this critical issue with the example of two babies born in Hillingdon, going home to neighbouring areas, facing a 6-year gap in life expectancy! #MQT

West Central desperately needs more social and genuinely affordable housing.

That’s why I used my first question at Mayor’s Question Time to ask about the importance of affordable housing targets in private developments.

When the Tories privatised #ThamesWater it was £0 in debt. Now its debt is £15 billion ‼️

That's been taken from the pockets of Londoners, who suffer leaks, sewerage & soaring bills.

👇See Leonie Cooper AM show how privatisation has left us in a mess. It's time for change.

See Assembly Labour leader Len Duvall AM remind us of the mess the Tories have left us in:

❌Police told not to arrest criminals
❌Offenders let out early from overcrowded prisons
❌Courts told not to sit because the system is too full

It's time for a change. #GE24

Number of Metropolitan Police officers being dismissed hits new high | Evening Standard

My take👇 standard.co.uk/news/london/me…

Under Labour, London is:
1️⃣Rejecting divisive culture wars
2️⃣Getting building again - trains, housing & buses
3️⃣Holding ThamesWater's feet to the fire

Hear Labour Assembly Member Leonie Cooper AM set out with Chris Wright how our record in London can inspire a future Government⬇️

Did you know #measles cases are on the rise in London? 📈🤒🦠

Hear Krupesh Hirani AM for Brent and Harrow outline the risks, how few Londoners are getting vaccinated & how important getting the #MMR jabs are BBC Radio London 💉💉💉

🚨More than 12,000 Londoners faced no fault evictions in the past year🚨

The Government promised to ban these in 2019 but has no plan & no timeline for this.

Our Housing spokesperson Sem Moema 🌹🐝💪🏾 has called for a ban urgently.

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”

Cllr Sakina Sheikh 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
