London is, and always will be, a place for everyone. A city where people of all backgrounds live side-by-side, and where our differences are not just tolerated, but celebrated.

I’m deeply concerned about recent racist attacks in our capital city.
From the TfL workers being punched and racially abused to women who were chased down the street - I’m deeply concerned about the alarming rise of racist attacks in our capital city. 
 
We are also seeing appalling incidents elsewhere in the country - some of which have included abhorrent violence towards children.
 
These incidents illustrate the dangers of allowing racism to be normalised and mainstreamed. Real lives and personal safety are under threat.
 
I will continue to speak out against racial inequalities and injustices, as well as providing support to organisations working to support our communities and bring people together.
 
London is a successful, liberal and multicultural city. The greatest in the world. It will always be for everyone and I promise you: that will never change.
