Cheaper bus fares across the country are good for people's pockets - and the climate. As we’ve seen in London through my fare freezes and the introduction of the Hopper fare, cheaper bus journeys mean more people choose public transport.

Government to restore £2 cap on bus fares in England

The government says the policy will "help with the cost of living and give people the breathing space they need"

In the run up to #LondonDataWeek, it was a privilege to welcome representatives from over 20 cities to London for a Google for Cities event discussing how better public/private partnerships can use data & AI to help build greener, cleaner, healthier cities for all. @ldncdo.bsky.social

Join us at London Data Week, starting tomorrow. 50+ events across the city - something for everyone! 👇👇👇

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

The AI revolution is here, and I want London to take advantage of its opportunities. That’s why I’m working with partners, hosting over 50 fantastic free and low-cost events for London Data Week. See what’s taking place from 6–12 July: londondataweek.org/ldw26-events/

Thank you, Tokyo 🇯🇵 London is looking East. In a changing world, building strong global connections is essential to secure the investment, high-skilled jobs, and innovation that will keep London competitive.

London 🤝 Singapore. This is what it looks like when two global powerhouses unite. Delighted to be here to bang the drum for London and supercharge the strong ties between our countries.

If you’ve chosen to live in the centre of the greatest city in the world, expect the nightlife to match.

The manosphere is targeting young people online. Here’s how London’s fighting back.

Being a teenager is tough at the best of times - now the manosphere is offering young men simple but harmful answers to their struggles. I wrote for LBC about what tech companies and others must do to ensure we avoid a lost generation of young men.

A social media ban is the only way to protect boys from the Manosphere, writes Sadiq Khan | LBC

Until tech companies can prove that their platforms are safe for children, a ban is the only way to stem the harms we know are happening right now

lbc.co.uk

Tech companies cannot keep turning a blind eye while harmful content is pushed to young people by algorithms designed to keep them hooked. Until platforms can prove they are safe for children, a ban for under 16s is the only way to stem the harms we know are happening.

The Soho Society's decision to oppose all new and extended license applications is the wrong one - it's bad for London.

My message to young men: ignore the noise online and trust your own voice.

Islington was painted red today, as generations of fans lined the streets to celebrate Arsenal men’s team winning the Premier League for the first time in 22 years, and the women’s team clinching the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup 🏆

NEW: we're supersizing the Hopper fare to put money back into Londoners' pockets this summer. Look out for our fun 🐸 buses.

False narratives about London are being manufactured by state-backed actors, extremist groups and profit-driven content farms. Different motivations, same effect. Last night Mayor of London @london.gov.uk published new GLA research into who's doing it and why www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 🧵 1/3

NEW: Plans are underway for a tourist levy to supercharge London's economy. It could raise *millions* to fund major improvements in our city. London is the greatest city in the world, but there’s always more to do! A tourist levy would make it an even better place to live and visit for everyone.

We must unite against those who seek to divide us.

Congratulations to Claire Waxman on her new role as National Victims Commissioner. Her commitment as London Victims' Commissioner has brought significant changes here and across the country, and I know she will continue to build a criminal justice system that is fit for purpose.
