The report from the London AI and Jobs Taskforce makes one thing clear: the impact of AI on jobs is not predetermined. I'm pleased to accept the flagship recommendations from the Taskforce and back them with £18 million in skills and careers support for young Londoners.

London is getting ready. / A new London AI Early Action System will help spot changes in jobs and skills sooner / Employers, workers and educators will help shape how AI changes jobs and creates value / A Future Ready Guarantee will help young Londoners build the skills and experience needed for tomorrow's careers" [Mayor of London logo]

Wonderful to speak at The Faith & Belief Forum Dangoor Interfaith Awards. A truly inspiring celebration of faith, community and compassion across London. Congratulations to the winners. You have embodied the values that hold our city together: empathy, generosity and faith in one another.

I’m proud of our Pension Credit campaign, but too many Londoners are still missing out on vital support. That's why City Hall is working to reach even more Londoners as we build a better, fairer city for everyone.

More than 4,400 older Londoners have claimed up to £21.5million in “vital” Pension Credit in the last year, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS)

Sadiq Khan condemns Nigel Farage's threat to deport hundreds of thousands of Londoners with settled status. “They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. “Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”

Those who spread division dismiss kindness as weakness. In London, we see it as a super power. That’s why @MayorofLondon is backing our communities through a new £900k #LovedandWanted Fund to support Londoners, bringing people together to ensure no one is left behind.

President Trump has fanned the flames of the far-right. And now a toxic form of politics is spilling out onto our streets. These are dark times, but those who seek to divide us will not win. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We all have a responsibility and part to play in tackling the climate emergency. Seeing how the young Londoners from Harlington and Pinkwell school approach it, with real understanding and care is truly inspiring. The future of London’s environment is in safe and green hands 🌳

City Hall hosted its 8th commemoration ahead of the Intl Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition. Thank you Dr Denise Noble & Yomi Sode for your powerful words. We must never forget this painful history & its lasting legacies as we stand against racism & injustice.
