Deputy Mayor of London & Assembly Member for Enfield and Haringey.
Joined June 2010
.@SadiqKhan reduced TfL’s deficit from £1.5bn under Boris Johnson, to £200million - a 71% reduction. Don’t fall for Tory lies. They can never be trusted with our public services. When Johnson was Mayor he agreed to the Government cutting TfL’s £700million a yr operating grant.

After pressure from @SadiqKhan and Londoners the Government have performed a huge U-Turn over TfL funding. This means. 🚌 Free travel for under 18s/over 60s remains for now.🚗No extension of the Congestion Charge Zone.💴No further fare rises than already agreed.

Brilliant result. So proud to work with @SadiqKhan for a better London.
Thank you London. It’s the absolute honour of my life to serve the city I love for another three years. I’ll leave no stone unturned to get our city back on its feet. A brighter future is possible, and we’ll deliver it together.

🙅♀️Very sad to see that the Greens, Lib Dems and Tories have got together to form a new coalition on the London Assembly. 🌹Rest assured, Labour Members will stand up against this regressive alliance.

After criticising @SadiqKhan relentlessly for his junk food advertising ban, it will be interesting to see how @ShaunBaileyUK responds to news his own party is set to introduce the same policy nationally. Something tells me he'll be keeping very quiet.

So many families are struggling with the cost of living crisis. This initiative will mean all primary school children will get a healthy nutritious meal and be better ready to learn. No child should go hungry.
NEW: City Hall will be funding free school meals for every primary school pupil in London. No child should go hungry in our city. The Government have refused to act, so I’m stepping up.

Lots of myths have been bandied around TfL finances in the last few weeks, so let's reiterate the truth: the current Mayor reduced TfL's deficit by 71% and improved its cash position by 13%. Without this prudent financial management, a far bigger bailout would have been needed.

Such sad news. Nicky was my predecessor as Assembly Member for Enfield & Haringey and Deputy Mayor of London. She was an inspiration, especially on climate change and environmental policy - she led whilst others followed. Always helpful and kind. My thoughts are with her family.
Devastated to hear the news about my dear friend Nicky Gavron. Her service to our city was immeasurable, as a councillor, Deputy Mayor and Assembly Member. To me, she was not just a kind and generous friend, but also a teacher and a mentor. Her commitment to tackling climate

‘The events in the US must now act as a wake-up call for democracies around the world.’ @SadiqKhan is absolutely right - populism and nativism must be defeated.

This is great news! 571 new council homes for Enfield and 848 for Haringey @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan.
Due to big uptake and the money I’ve managed to secure from the Government, our ‘Building Council Homes for Londoners’ programme is helping build 11,154 council homes. I’m ambitious about fixing the housing crisis, but the Govt must match that ambition.

.@JoanneMcCartney is proposing a motion on culture in London. We are against the proposal to relocate the English National Opera, out of London. Culture is vital to London, and we are concerned about Government instruction which has lead to this situation.

So proud of @SadiqKhan universal free school meals for state primary children. Heard tonight from Tory candidate that she does not support this programme.
Free school meals. Record numbers of council homes. Fares frozen, the Hopper, Superloop & Elizabeth line. Record investment in the Met. 500K+ opportunities for young Londoners. Cleaner air. Cycle lanes quadrupled. Vote for me on 2 May & I’ll continue delivering for our city.

London's pubs are vital spaces, a huge part of our city's history and very much missed - so it's important they're still there for us on the other side. That's why I'm joining calls for 'PubCos' to stop charging rent when publicans can't trade. #nopubnorent | @GBPubConfed.

. @SadiqKhan is trialling “off-peak Fridays” from March. TfL will charge off peak fares ALL DAY on Fridays – making it cheaper to come into work (and maybe to a pub, restaurant or theatre afterwards). This is a boost to London’s hospitality sector.

Important free school meals update 📢. Delivering free school meals has been my proudest moment as Mayor. I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be extending this lifeline for another academic year—saving families up to £1,000 per child over two years. Spread the word ⬇️

👏 good to see this pledge for young people! @SadiqKhan has stepped-up as government cuts have hit youth sector hard. His funding for organisations in Enfield & Haringey - the Young Londoners Fund, New Deal for Young People & VRU are making a real difference and changing lives.
Youth clubs, and youth workers, change lives. Since I’ve been Mayor, we’ve invested over £100million in youth services at centres like the brilliant Knight's Youth Centre in Brixton. If I'm re-elected - I'll deliver another 250,000 positive opportunities for young Londoners.
