I’ve long called for stronger enforcement for perpetrators of violence against women and girls. I support the Government’s move towards extending sentences for those who kill their partner to 25 years. Justice must be delivered for victims and their families.

I’ll continue to call for reforms to our criminal justice system that put the onus of behaviour change on male perpetrators of domestic abuse. Women must have confidence that the system will deliver justice when they report abuse and coercive behaviour.

Today marks a landmark moment for London’s licensing system, with City Hall having a direct say in the decisions for the first time. By making it easier to extend opening hours and expand what’s on offer, we’re backing the capital’s hospitality, culture and nightlife.

10 years ago, the air outside Aldgate School didn’t meet legal limits. Children were breathing polluted air every day. I made it my mission to change that. Here’s the difference our bold policies have made ⬇️

As @london_climate comes to a close, it's a chance to reflect on the bold actions we’ve taken and the success we've had in making London greener and more climate-resilient. But the extreme temperatures we’ve had are a stark reminder of why this work matters - and why we must keep going.
