Here's an Iftar on Trafalgar Square. And here’s Easter, Diwali, Vaisakhi and Chanukah. London is, and will always be, a place for everyone. #UnityOverDivision

London is great at celebrating diversity - from Lunar New Year through to Hanukkah and Christmas. It's been an honour to attend Iftars this #Ramadan and a shock to see Islamophobic posts about the @OpenIftar in Trafalgar Square. I don't want to share hate so here's a joyful post!

We’ve secured #GreenRoots funding to enhance and protect the River Lea 🌱 We’ll use it to support our work looking after local waterways, creating healthier habitats for wildlife and getting more of the community involved Find out more: orlo.uk/oOJo2 @MayorofLondon

Sir David Attenborough is right: London is full of natural wonder. We’re bringing back beavers, bees and bats across London - and now, through our Green Roots Fund, we're supporting the first white stork colony in six centuries 🦅 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Great news. This opens up exciting opportunities for young people, giving Londoners, Brits & their European counterparts access to a wealth of possibilities. At a time of global uncertainty, strengthening our partnership with the EU is a win-win for growth and prosperity 💙💛

I remember being surrounded by racism in the 1980s - it has been horrifying to see it return emboldened with the rise of Farage, Robinson and the far right. #Solidarity with @SadiqKhan - racist ‘banter’ is racist abuse. Call it out.

We’ve just launched a new round of Hackney Impact support for Hackney’s small businesses - offering workshops, coaching and peer networking to help them to scale up and access new business opportunities. Find out more about the programme and sign-up: orlo.uk/5v6XP
