I’m at the congress of the Party of European Socialists in Amsterdam - no Brexit here as the UK Labour Party is still an active member - with delegates and leaders from across Europe.
Warm welcome given to David Lammy.

When someone suffers a cardiac arrest, every second counts.

That’s why I’m proud to be partnering with the @londonambulance.nhs.uk and helping to fund 200 new defibrillators. This will help to ensure that every neighbourhood in our city has better​ access to this life-saving equipment.

The Bakerloop is here, and from today, it's totally free for one week!

Running an express service from Waterloo to Lewisham, it traces the route of the proposed Bakerloo line extension.

All aboard! 🚍

Pedicabs could be a fun, quick and green way to get around London, but they’re currently unregulated, which can lead to antisocial driving, loud music and steep overcharging. So, we're planning to regulate pedicabs for the first time in London, to make London safer and greener.

🚍 Great to join @MayorofLondon at Stockwell Bus Garage to open @Go_Ahead_London’s new state-of-the-art Operations Control Centre.

This facility will help deliver safer, more reliable journeys for over a million Londoners every day - a huge step forward for our bus network. 👏

A really interesting afternoon spent at British Transport Police offices in Victoria. We spoke about issues facing London’s transport network including sexual offences and the recent rise in graffiti. We will keep working together to build a better, safer London for everyone.

It’s official: the Silvertown Tunnel is proving a big win for London.

Public transport use has more than doubled!

A new report from TfL demonstrates that the tunnel is achieving its key aims of easing congestion, increasing public transport use and improving journeys for all bit.ly/4kUhdHw

Great news for Tube travellers - more of the Northern, Piccadilly, and Victoria lines now have 4G and 5G coverage - keeping Londoners connected underground. 📶

From Euston to Bank, Balham to South Wimbledon, the rollout continues!
I’m pleased to announce 4G and 5G coverage is expanding on the Northern, Piccadilly and Victoria lines, keeping even more Londoners connected while travelling.

It’s a step towards full coverage across the Tube network and a better, more connected London for everyone.
More sections of the Piccadilly, Northern and Victoria lines now have 4G and 5G coverage
More south London tube stations and tunnels now have internet coverage than ever before.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.

However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Incredible turnout and atmosphere in Budapest as huge crowds march in defiance of Viktor Orbán.

Mayor Karácsony has shown tremendous leadership, and the organisers huge courage.

It was an honour to march in solidarity with Hungary’s LGBTQI+ community.

I’m in Hungary with representatives from cities, parliaments and the EU to represent the Mayor of @london.gov.uk at Budapest Pride.

Viktor Orbán’s govt tried to ban the march but it will go ahead thanks to Mayor Gergely Karácsony.

We stand in solidarity with Hungary’s LGBTQ+ community.

The results are in. The vast majority of Londoners and major businesses back our exciting plans for Oxford Street, so I'm pleased to confirm that we will now be moving ahead as quickly as possible.

Encouraging @TfL data shows road casualties are at their lowest levels outside of the pandemic. Just one death or serious injury is one too many, and we are committed to eliminating them from our roads by 2041, as part of the Mayor’s Vision Zero Strategy. tfl-newsroom.prgloo.com/news/road-ca...

🎂 Happy 3rd birthday to the Elizabeth Line!

At over 500m journeys so far, it’s already the UK's most popular railway. 🚆

It's proof of the value to the UK of investing in London, to create new economic growth with thousands of new jobs and homes along its route and beyond.

Very encouraging data which shows the positive impact the new Silvertown Tunnel is having in east and southeast London. The route 108 which travels through the Blackwall Tunnel has seen a significant increase in reliability since the Silvertown Tunnel opened 🎉
