London’s renters are really struggling.
I’m urgently asking the Govt to:
♻️ Invest big in home insulation schemes, saving renters hundreds in energy costs
🏠 Grant me the powers to freeze rents, saving renters £2,988 over 2 years
📈 Increase Universal Credit w/ inflation.
Thanks to the generosity of the Hindu and Sikh neighbours I grew up alongside, I've been fortunate to experience the joy and unity that comes with celebrating Diwali.
I'm delighted to bring this free family-friendly event back to Trafalgar Square this year for all to enjoy.
Over 1,000 organisations and venues have now signed up to my Women’s Night Safety Charter.
It has never been more important for businesses to show their commitment to making London a safe city for women and girls around the clock.

Do it before Saturday:

We need a major Government insulation drive:
⚫️ Half a million of the homes London’s private renters are living in are below the minimum acceptable energy efficiency rating
⚫️ 20,000 of these properties receive the worst ratings—costing up to £1000 extra a year in energy bills
It's #MeterReadingWeek
Energy prices rise for millions on 1 Oct (& fall for some on fixes). So most, though not everyone, should be doing a reading. Plus some on PREPAY may be able to keep current rates longer.
Here's my need-to-know from this week's MSE email
Pls share
Retweeted by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan I’m calling on Ministers to act now to tackle spiralling costs for Londoners and the energy crisis by:
➡️ Launching a major home insulation drive
➡️ Granting me the powers to freeze rents in the capital, saving renters £3,000 over 2 years.
490,000 homes rented from private landlords are below the widely-recognised minimum acceptable energy rating of band C.
20,000 of these properties receive the worst ratings of F and G.
New research from City Hall shows that private tenants in the worst insulated homes are facing additional energy costs of £947 a year, even with the Government’s energy price guarantee, because landlords have failed to insulate their properties.
Pls share to stop confusion.
THERE IS NO £2,500 CAP ON ENERGY BILLS.
Instead the new 1 Oct guarantee, like the old caps, limits
- Daily charge (28p gas, 46p elec)
- & Unit rates (10p/kWh gas, 34p/kWh elec)
So use more, pay more. £2,500 is just what someone with avg use'd pay
Retweeted by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan It’s no exaggeration that the cost of living crisis is a matter of life & death.
More than a million people in the UK have experienced a life threatening asthma attack due to changes they’ve been forced to make by rising bills.
The Govt can’t ignore this growing catastrophe.

Today was an important day for our work to tackle structural racism in London.
I established the Workforce Integration Network in 2018 to help young Black men overcome significant barriers in employment & training.
Today our work with @AREtweets_ pushed that work further. 1/2

❝ A child was “pretending to eat out of an empty lunchbox” because they did not qualify for free school meals and did not want their friends to know there was no food at home. ❞
Heartbreaking. The Govt must introduce free school meals for primary school children. Immediately.
The case for a rent freeze in London has never been stronger.
In light of the missed opportunities of last week's Mini Budget, I'm doubling down on my calls to the Government to grant me the powers to freeze rents in the capital so I can support Londoners this winter.
A real privilege to meet Mayor of Kyiv @Vitaliy_Klychko and to reiterate Mayor of London @SadiqKhan’s commitment to the people of Ukraine. London stands with Ukraine and we’ll do whatever it takes to support them #StandWithUkraine
Retweeted by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan If you or anyone you know is a Londoner on benefits or a low income, you could be eligible for free heating, insulation and ventilation improvements to help warm your home this winter.

Retweeted by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan Friday’s #MiniBudget has done nothing to ease Londoners’ worries about the difficult winter ahead.
If you need advice on how to manage soaring energy bills, my team has put lots of guidance together in one place here:
I will continue to hold the police to account as I support the Commissioner in getting us to place where all Londoners feel protected and served, and where we have a police force that everyone – inc. the many decent, brave and dedicated officers in London – can be proud of. 4/4
I look forward to continuing to work closely with Sir Mark – to restore trust and confidence in the police and to ensure the Met can deliver a world-class service to all Londoners, building on the success we have made in driving down violence and crime across our city. 3/4
I’m determined for this to be a new chapter for the Metropolitan Police Service and its relationship with London’s communities. 2/4
I welcome Sir Mark Rowley’s commitment since taking over the role of Commissioner to rebuild trust in the police and to drive through the step change in culture and performance that’s urgently needed, and which Londoners deserve. 1/4
ICYMI: A big announcement for TfL’s hardworking cleaners, catering and security staff.
I’m extending free travel on public transport to 5,000 of @TfL’s lowest paid transport workers to help them through this unprecedented cost of living crisis.
The new Living Wage rates are out!
Both our UK and London #LivingWage rates have risen: £10.90 (UK) £11.95 (London) meaning a pay-rise for hundreds of thousands of workers. With the cost of living crisis, it’s more important than ever.

Retweeted by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan The Fiscal Statement was a missed opportunity to provide what our city needs:
✅ Free basic energy for the most vulnerable
✅ Free school meals for all primary school kids
✅ Increase in Universal Credit
✅ The power to freeze rents
The Govt simply must do more.
The Government has given handouts to the wealthy while millions struggle.
“Free school meals were something my family relied upon. Every child in London deserves that safety net.”
Here’s why I think the Govt needs to do more to stop our kids from going hungry:

Retweeted by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan The rising cost of household bills is putting pressure on many Londoners’ finances.

On behalf of all Londoners, I wish all the officers injured a swift recovery and urge anyone with information on those involved to call the police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously. 3/3
The right to protest is a cornerstone of our democracy, but violence and attacks on our police and communities will never be tolerated. I am in close contact with the Met Commissioner and the police have my full support in pursuing those behind the disorder. 2/3
The scenes that took place last night were completely unacceptable. The selfish minority who attempted to hijack a peaceful protest must be brought to justice. 1/3

London’s transport workers are essential to keeping our city moving, but those on the lowest incomes are struggling with the cost of living.
I’m taking action to support thousands of TfL cleaners, catering and security staff by removing the cost of public transport.
One year on from Sabina Nessa’s horrific murder, my thoughts remain with her family and loved ones.
Every woman and girl should be able to feel safe wherever they are in our city. I’m determined to continue doing everything we can to make London safer for everyone. twitter.com/BBCLondonNews/…
