‘Brexit has done more harm than good’ @andyburnham says plainly. He pledges to improve relations with Britain’s biggest trading partner, the EU

Andy Burnham, to huge applause: “The British right like to talk about take back control. Never let them forget they’re the ones who gave it away.”

A new chapter for London’s buses.
I’m launching Buses for London with @TfL - the capital’s publicly owned bus company. Starting with Route 6 in 2027, we’ll reinvest profits into better services, safer journeys and a greener network.

Anyone who witnessed the terrible events of 9/11 unfold 25 years ago will never forget them.
Time has not faded our memory of the thousands of innocent people who were killed in the most appalling acts of terrorism - including 67 Britons, many of whom were from London.
Today London stands with the people of New York City. Those who sought to destroy our way of life have not won, and never will.

60 years of Notting Hill Carnival - now one of the world’s greatest celebrations of Caribbean culture, community & London.
It's founders understood the power of culture to challenge racism, build understanding & turn strangers into neighbours. We need that now as much as ever.

A decade ago, the Night Tube changed Londoners’ nights out forever.
Londoners said goodbye to running for the last train on weekend nights and hello to a new era of a 24-hour city.

Tonight London stood with Berlin.
Thousands gathered in Soho Square to stand with the LGBTQIA+ community in London and around the world.
Extremists seek to divide us, but they will not succeed. Love will always be stronger than hate. 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️

Horrified by the appalling attack in Berlin. My thoughts are with all those affected, and the entire LGBT+ community.
The values of openness, tolerance and freedom are what unite us. I have spoken to @AussenMinDE to convey the UK's solidarity: we stand with Germany.

It has been the most incredible privilege to serve as Financial Secretary to the Treasury for the past two years. I am enormously grateful to Keir Starmer for appointing me and to Rachel Reeves for always believing in me and for her unwavering support.

It has been the privilege of my life to serve as the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The economy today is stronger, fairer and more resilient because of the choices we have taken as a Labour Government over the past two years.
Stability restored, investment delivered and reform to our economy under way. I said when I was appointed Chancellor that I would judge my time in office if the lives ordinary working class people have been improved. I’m proud to say that they have.
And to every young woman and girl let my time in office show there should be no ceilings on your ambitions, your hopes or your dreams.
I wish the very best of luck to my successor, Andy and his cabinet. You have my full support, and I will continue to play my part in helping this Labour government deliver the change the country needs.

Congratulations to Andy Burnham @andyburnham on taking office as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. We wish the Prime Minister and the British people every success in addressing the challenges of today.
Britain has always been one of the global leaders. We are ready to work together in all possible formats. We highly appreciate the UK's political, defense, and values-based support. The foundation of our bilateral relationship is stronger than ever, and we will continue to make each other stronger. I'm looking forward to our conversation later today. Thank you!

We were delighted to host the latest event in our Meet the Deputy Mayor series this morning.
It was a packed room for the session with @SebDance , Deputy Mayor for Transport, kindly hosted by Martijn Gilbert, MD for @ArrivaUKBus.
A wide-ranging discussion chaired by our CEO John Dickie covered topics including bus journey times, the future of autonomous vehicles in London, renewal of the Tube network, charging hubs, the transition to net zero and what the next Government’s devolution drive could mean for funding and delivering projects across the city.
Thank you to everyone who joined the event and to @ArrivaGroup and @ArrivaUKBus for hosting.
The series will return in September - sign up for the next event below ⬇️

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.
It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.
But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

Today, I laid a wreath in Hyde Park to honour the 52 innocent people killed on 7 July 2005.
We honour those injured, the families who carry the loss, and the heroic emergency responders who ran towards danger that day.
London remembers. You will never be forgotten.
