Early prisoner release scheme? Let’s look at the facts and why we’ve got to where we are.
London Assembly Labour 🌹@CityHallLabourOct 17
650 prisoners released early this week because there’s nowhere left to put them. The Tories closed 23 prisons in 14 years, leaving the prison system 99.7% full. Hear @LabourMarina thoughts on the crisis previous governments have left us with 👇

This week, Angel station became exit-only because of escalator failures. We cannot keep patching up critical infrastructure and hoping for the best. Investment is needed now by @TfL

Everyone deserves to say goodbye to their loved ones with dignity and in keeping with their faith and traditions. @KrupeshHirani is calling for the new London Plan to address the shortage of suitable crematoria that meet the needs of London’s diverse communities.

One death or knife crime is always one too many, but @SadiqKhan & @LibPeck have invested in a Violence Reduction Unit that is delivering real results, saving real lives. One million Londoners reached. 55% reduction in hospital admissions of young people from knife assaults.
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan

One million Londoners reached. Thousands fewer victims of violence. Our @LDN_VRU is helping turn the tide, with hospital admissions for young people injured in knife assaults down 55% since 2019. This shows what prevention can achieve, but there’s more to do.

Encouraging news for London: hospital admissions for young people assaulted with a knife have fallen by 55% since @SadiqKhan established the Violence Reduction Unit. A real impact of investing in prevention and supporting young people, We know there’s still more to do.

The Tories call ULEZ “woke nonsense”, claiming it hurts London’s most vulnerable. But who is more vulnerable than our children, who have no choice over the air they breathe? @KrupeshHirani points out ULEZ's remarkable impact on a school near the North Circular in Brent.

After 53 years, @AndrewBoff has left the Conservatives because he refuses to abandon his support for human rights. We disagree with Andrew on plenty, but respect his principles. What does it say about @KemiBadenoch's party that there's no room for him? @LeonieC spoke to ITV.

We’ve been working closely with the Government to make Stratford International station truly ‘international’ for the first time – opening up jobs, investment and tourism. It’s time to write the next chapter in Stratford’s remarkable success story. standard.co.uk/news/london/s…

An amazing evening at @StanmoreTemple for Dussehra with the epic performed live on stage before the burning of Ravana's effigy and fireworks. Great to see thousands attending this grand event.

When a Conservative of 53 years leaves for supporting the European Convention on Human Rights, it shows how far from the mainstream Kemi Badenoch’s party has shifted. @AndrewBoff deserves credit for standing by his principles. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq78…

This is a balanced statement from the always thoughtful @LonTravelWatch on the need to rethink floating bus stops in London. I support their calls and I hope TfL and boroughs will take heed. londontravelwatch.org.uk/new…

We are calling for a number of changes to London's 'floating bus stops', which we believe have a range of fundamental design flaws

Years of underfunding and neglect have brought us to this point. As @LeonieC says, Thames Water is unreliable and costing taxpayers millions every year. Londoners deserve better. Something has to change.

469 antisemitic incidents were recorded in Barnet in the first six months of 2026. @anne_clarke says the Greens’ ‘Zionism is racism’ motion has real consequences for Jewish Londoners, and questions why Zack Polanski wasn’t there to vote against it.
