Knife deaths in London in the year to May 2025 were the lowest in a 12 month period since September 2015.
We are making progress, but there is much to do. We will not let-up in our approach with the police, and through prevention with the London VRU, to build a safer city for all.

‘Treading lightly’: was it really what we wanted?
Opinion polls show that Keir Starmer is the least popular Prime Minister in living memory. But is he not doing what we said we wanted?

The British government just did something I agree with, and it feels almost gross to mention it. Also: who invented the week? And some Beeching-themed maps.

Reeves should announce the intention to join the SM and the CU in the budget. They are rolling the pitch in that direction so, go for it. You or I could easily provide the “excuses” for ripping up the manifesto. Trump’s Tariffs would be the first. “Economic winds” would be another. Just do it RR.

ULEZ means about 1,500 sq kilometres - the whole of Greater London - is covered by road emissions control.
Stop and think about that for a second. It's incredible. Its impact on public health has been huge.
Studies said it would take 200 YEARS to reach this emission level. Khan did it in five.

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

We have built a society in which people of different skin tones, religious backgrounds & cultures get along, share power, work alongside each other, procreate with each other, recognise the each other’s humanity and democratic rights. It is a STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD HISTORIC PROPORTIONS.
I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter
Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

I’m enjoying this speech and I’ve got not going to get distracted but just let me tell you I live in France and there is fuck all chance of the EU letting us rejoin whilst Farage is anywhere near. They remember him as an MEP. They are delighted, however, to have a closer relationship with Starmer.

Our politics and media have become viciously obsessed with immigration. Farage has made sure of it. And in that obsession, they’ve all lost sight of the people they target. Fellow human beings trying to live and belong somewhere.

Take a breath. Look behind the hostile headlines. What this government is on the verge of doing is to expand this one-in-one-out deal into, essentially, a safe and legal route from France. It is - and has always been - the only solution to dangerous crossings and what has been needed for years.
