Delighted that over 10,000 young Londoners will benefit from half-price rail travel 👏 This will make a massive difference to young people across the country getting started in life.

I want to wish our new Prime Minister, @andyburnham.bsky.social, a warm welcome & the best of luck in No10. Fantastic to see our new PM & his Cabinet already working hard to deliver for the British people, with immediate action to cut taxes on energy bills and alleviate the cost of living.

Delighted to see @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social receive a peerage today. In his decade as Mayor, he has delivered fantastic things 👉 free school meals for all primary school children, cleaning up our air, overseeing London's lowest murder rate per capita. These are just a handful. Well done, Sadiq!

Fantastic to speak to Sky News about my support for an 'Automatic Release at 21' scheme for child trust funds. I was delighted to host ShareFound's event in Parliament yesterday, joined by Ruth Kelly and Gavin Oldham OBE. Read the piece here 👉 news.sky.com/story/politi...

An honour to be in the Chamber for the PM's final PMQs today. Whether it was strengthening renters' & employment rights, passing the landmark Hillsborough Law, or lifting children out of poverty, the country is in better shape than when he found it. A legacy to be proud of.

Miscarriage care must change and the damaging 'three-miscarriage rule' cannot continue. I am pleased to be joined by parliamentary colleagues calling for change from the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. Thank you to Tommy's for all of your fantastic work on this issue 🩷

Amazing to spend time at the Eden Project this week with the Parliament Knowledge Scheme for Energy and Environment. A great opportunity to learn more about the power of our natural world and the value of #sustainability. We even got to sleep under the #biodome in the rainforest!

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan@london.gov.uk · last mo.

Working with boroughs and local businesses, we’re bringing outdoor dining, live music and later opening hours to streets across the capital. My Summer Streets investment will create new outdoor spaces, support businesses and give Londoners more reasons to enjoy our city.

Last night, I presented my Debt Relief to Parliament for a second time. It is unfathomable that any country spends more on debt financing than on healthcare or education. This Bill, which would cost the Treasury nothing, would compel private creditors to negotiate fairly. We need it now.

When experts warn of national security threats and even extinction-level risks from superintelligent AI, parliamentarians must listen. I was delighted to sponsor @controlai.com’s parliamentary drop-in yesterday, pushing for the international coordination this moment demands.

Can you believe there is VAT on #defibrillator sales? Me neither. As part of the #ScraptheHeartRestartTax campaign, I have co-ordinated a cross-party group of MPs to join me in writing to the Chancellor on this issue. Please read 👇

This week, I raised the concerns of constituents of Southgate & Wood Green about illegal activity in high street shops. I know how much our high streets matter to our community and I will continue to call for increased powers for our local authorities and trading standards officers.

Thank you to @bambosmp.bsky.social for attending our #RefugeeWeek event and discussing how refugee integration supports stronger communities.

Last week was #CarersWeek! It was a great opportunity to meet with and discuss the experiences of unpaid carers. We must work together to ensure our communities are carer friendly, recognising and valuing our unpaid carers. Thank you for everything you do.

Today is the Send My Friend Parliamentary Action Day! Fantastic to welcome Bella, Lana, and many more amazing young advocates to Westminster this morning to discuss working towards a world where every child has access to an inclusive and equitable quality education. Education is a human right.

Today is National Fish and Chip Day! Fantastic to mark today by visiting one of our amazing fish and chip shops, Chippers in Cockfosters 🐟🍟 If you can, show some support and treat yourself to a chippy tonight!

Yesterday, I was honoured to welcome President JD Mahama of Ghana to Wood Green for the Ghana Diaspora Townhall Meeting. We are all looking forward to watching England take on Ghana later this month in the World Cup ⚽️ Welcome to Wood Green! Akwaaba! 🇬🇭

This #NationalEpilepsyWeek, I'm calling for fair research investment. Too many face barriers to timely healthcare & equal outcomes. With 630,000 people in the UK living with #epilepsy, research must receive the funding it needs to find personalised treatments & transform lives.

Proud to support @fosteringnet.bsky.social's Foster Care Fortnight, as well as every fantastic foster carer in Southgate & Wood Green. London urgently needs hundreds more #foster carers to support children and young people to thrive. Can you help? 👉 www.thefosteringnetwork.org.uk/for-carers/b...

Fantastic to see such targeted action on this issue. Our petition from local residents in #Enfield and #Haringey called for action like this from Govt. While I welcome this step forward, I will continue to call for increased powers for local authorities to tackle this issue on our high streets.

This week is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and the theme is: Action. To mark this, I met with my constituent, Alina Marinca, who has just finished an outstanding research project on children's mental health. It was great to learn more about the impact of sleep disturbance on mental health.

Happy #InternationalNursesDay! This week, I am looking forward to visiting the hardworking nursing team at the North Mid, who show up with kindness and professionalism to support local people every day. Thank you to each and every incredible nurse across Southgate and Wood Green 🧑‍⚕️

That’s it for local election day! 🌹 Thank you to everyone who spoke to us today and for the great response on the #LabourDoorstep! Well done to the brilliant Enfield and Haringey Labour teams who worked so hard today and over the whole campaign. #VoteLabour 🌹

The Renters’ Rights Act is officially in force! Over 200,000 renters across Enfield and Haringey are officially benefitting from this landmark legislation, the biggest upgrade to housing rights in a generation. This is Labour’s Plan for Change in action 👏🏼🏡

I am deeply disturbed and horrified by the stabbing in Barnet this afternoon. Violence and hatred have no place in our society. My thoughts are with the innocent people who were attacked today, and I stand with the Jewish community across Southgate and Wood Green.
