So important.
It can’t be right that a domestic abuser who kills with a knife already in the home has a 15 year sentencing starting point whilst someone who takes a knife to the scene has a 25 year starting point.
Very pleased that Labour are ending this theguardian.com/society/2026…

Brilliant news that @SadiqKhan and @lewishamlabour have secured Sydenham a share of £500,000 to host a new weekly food and drink night market this summer running from June to August.
Great news for Sydenham and our highstreet!

As Solicitor General I deal with dozens of cases under the unduly lenient sentence scheme each week. It is a vital part of our justice system and gives victims a voice.
I am extremely pleased that the Attorney General has referred this case, clearly the right decision.

London faces a choice: the politics of protest, or the politics of progress.
We’re building homes. Others are blocking them.

✅ Yesterday evening Mayor and Cabinet voted to withdraw permitted development rights for Houses in Multiple Occupation across the borough.
🏡 This means any future HMO conversions will have to obtain planning permission, as well as being subject to our HMO licensing scheme.
