The UK can be proud that when someone prominent has behaved badly they show contrition.
Trump however probably did much worse and the American people still just love him. That's a big difference.

This is such positive, powerful, direct communication. The fact that this seems so remarkable and so rare speaks volumes about our failure to stand up to the fossil fuel lobby.

Great news: Grosvenor Square will be transformed into a new green haven in the centre of London where wildlife will be able to thrive and where Londoners and visitors can reconnect with nature.

I was delighted to join the celebrations to mark the start of this transformation.

Nothing is more important to me than keeping Londoners safe and it is encouraging that we have had the fewest number of homicides in London across June, July and August in years.

London records lowest homicide rate in summer months since 2018

There were no homicides among under-25s recorded in London during the school summer holiday period, according to provisional figures

Children across London return to school this week - and to another year of free school meals.

I’m delighted that we’re continuing to fund free school meals for all state primary schools so that all children have to worry about is making the most of being back at school.

Ha ha, well Trump showed he has zero influence or respect on the world stage. Totally out manoeuvred by Putin. Very sad for the USA who have such a pathetic leader but also sad for us all 😒
