Housing is a major crisis in London - and we are nowhere near to keeping up. On a typical London salary you are typically spending more than half of your post-tax income of £2,685 on rent every month. A staggering £1,405. We don't build enough houses - we need to build more.

As Mayor I will work to liberate the Postcode Address File (PAF) for London tech businesses. Something the Chancellor should do today. What’s the PAF I hear you say? It’s a critical database for anybody who uses addresses. Freeing it up could help our tech industry.

I'm looking forward to getting rid of this terrible Conservative government. We can fix Britain - starting with electing more Lib Dem MPs on July 4th.

It's time. Time to elect fantastic Liberal Democrat MPs to champion their communities. Time to change the system and give people real hope. Time to smash the blue wall and kick out the Conservatives. Time to deliver the fair deal the British people deserve. #GeneralElection

We have a housing crisis in London - too little being built and too many badly built old houses and flats that are difficult to retrofit. So I was delighted to visit the Cambridge road estate development in Kingston with Emily Davey, providing 218 more council homes and much

The polling is clear: the Conservatives can't win in London. But Sadiq Khan doesn't deserve to win. I will fix the Met, which has been broken by the Mayor and the Conservatives.

I had my neck broken in an attempted mugging - and I got lucky surviving. Too many people don't. My top priority will be to fix the Met, getting police solving serious crimes like sexual offences, where the Mayor's record is pitiful.

Allotments bring people so much joy. But Londoners have to wait an average of 11 years to get a plot. That's why, as Mayor, I would free up many small plots of land to make many more allotments available. [Pictured below, my granny, who spent many happy years on her allotment]

Congratulations to @carolinepidgeon and @hinabokharild - who have been elected - doubling the Lib Dem London Assembly Group. It’s been a pleasure to work with both of them - Caroline is already a legend on the Assembly.

Labour's plan to flatten Warren Farm's gorgeous landscape threatens skylarks and owls that are very rare in London. It was a delight to visit on Friday and see this incredible space - thank you to @WarrenFarmNR for showing us around.

This is an outright conspiracy theory from a government minister. He knows perfectly well what he is doing - and should be ashamed of it.

Shocking to see that 33 traffic lights and pedestrian crossings have been vandalised by ULEZ protestors recently. A six year old girl is in hospital and there's a huge waste of police time and London money.

London’s Conservatives are getting weirder and weirder, chasing headlines rather than providing serious solutions. Their Mayoral candidate likes tweets that praise Enoch Powell. And the Tottenham Conservatives appear to have completely lost the plot. More from me below: 👇

If you have accidentally shared disinformation then: 1. Screenshot your mistake. 2. Delete your original posting. 3. Post an apology using the screenshot. This then acknowledges mistakes, without giving them oxygen of organic reach on social networks.
