Honoured to represent London at the Cenotaph, and pay tribute to those who have served our country, those who continue to keep us safe - and the sacrifices they and their families make.
On #RemembranceSunday, we remember all those who gave their lives in service.
Today on Remembrance Sunday we pause to remember those who gave their lives for our freedom.
This week I attended City Hall’s remembrance service where we paid tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

We remember their service. We honour their sacrifice.
On Remembrance Sunday, London joins the nation in paying tribute to the brave men and women who served our country and helped secure the freedoms we enjoy today. Their legacy must never be forgotten.

Today’s @FinancialTimes front page: Spending across the West End is up 13% after we pedestrianised Oxford St.
Once again data shows active travel boosts business.

On Thursday I wrote about the 2014 injunction Russell Brand obtained against a woman who accused him of assault.
I've now obtained the final order. It's breathtaking.
She had no lawyer. No trial. Yet she was silenced for life - even barred from speaking to the police.

Through New Homes Accelerator London, City Hall is working site-by-site to solve the knotty problems that are holding back housing development.
NHA LDN has already unlocked 1,000 homes. I spoke to @jester @insidehousing about their work. insidehousing.co.uk/insight/…
Following the evacuation of residents from the Royal Gateway development, I have written to Galliard Homes and Prime Property Management asking for formal assurances that every possible step is being taken to keep residents safe, secure, and fully supported.

Last orders for licensing delays.
New powers mean City Hall can step in on the biggest licensing decisions, helping London's venues, events and night-time economy flourish.

Congratulations to Democrats on a huge victory last night.
With a focus on hope, unity and supporting families with the cost of living - their campaign was a true rejection of the damaging and divisive politics of Donald Trump.

A new chapter for London after dark.
New government powers give City Hall the chance to have the final say in decisions on the venues, culture and hospitality that make London special.
A major step towards a more vibrant, thriving capital.

Three musicians are on stage under blue lighting: one seated at a keyboard and microphone in the foreground, with two others performing behind. Large headline text reads, “A new era for London’s nightlife is here.” Supporting text says “New powers from government mean the Mayor can now step in on major licensing decisions, helping London’s venues, music and nightlight thrive.” The Mayor of London logo appears in the bottom-right corner.

Great to meet with the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice @AlexJJNorris today, along with @LDNVictimsComm.
Our discussions focused on the importance of being tough on crime, putting victims’ voices at the heart of the criminal justice system, clearing court backlogs and securing justice for the Grenfell community.
Brilliant and insightful interview with historian Sarah Paine on Ukraine, Russia, Trump, Iran, China, and the importance of voting in the US midterms.
