🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan has joined the call for the Government to drop its planned disability benefit cuts. The Government should listen to the Mayor and its own MPs and rethink these proposals. buff.ly/eC4pLF4



Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan Read our full response to the Mayor's statement: inclusionlondon.org.uk/news/the-mayor…

Pleased to see Sadiq Khan add his voice to our call for the Government to rethink on welfare reforms. The proposals will be damaging for people who are already struggling to make ends meet, including many who are in work. We must not risk pushing them into poverty 👇🏾


Well done to the Mayor of London for listening to us at Inclusion London and to the voices of Disabled people. 👏🏼

Was wonderful to welcome the Flame of Hope to City Hall - a symbol of peace & reconciliation that has travelled across continents, carrying more than 400,000 wishes globally. In our diverse capital, it stands as a powerful reminder of our shared humanity & hope. #FlameofHope

I’m in Hungary with representatives from cities, parliaments and the EU to represent the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan at @BudapestPride. 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.


Great London's Violence Reduction Unit partnership reference group meeting today. Also got to gift Sadiq Khan & Debbie Weekes-Bernard my new book We Need to Talk... About Race: Christian Faith and Racial Justice - a young person's guide. Out now.



Great to join London Legal Support Trust & CitizensAdvice at the #HelpingHandsConference. A chance to recognise the dedication & impact of those powering the advice sector. Proud that we’ve supported over 75,000 Londoners since launching our advice funding programmes. tinyurl.com/36r57vvy







Lots of laughter visiting The Flygerians at the Peckham Palms with Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. I'm so proud of the African diaspora’s contribution to our city. Ahead of the Mayor’s trip, this was a brilliant opportunity to showcase how Black businesses & culture are thriving here in London.
