The report from the London AI and Jobs Taskforce makes one thing clear: the impact of AI on jobs is not predetermined. I'm pleased to accept the flagship recommendations from the Taskforce and back them with £18 million in skills and careers support for young Londoners.

I’m proud of our Pension Credit campaign, but too many Londoners are still missing out on vital support. That's why City Hall is working to reach even more Londoners as we build a better, fairer city for everyone.

The Far-right aim to stoke fear & divide our diverse communities by spreading hate but they will fail. By standing together & celebrating diversity we send a clear message of unity. Leaders must recognise this & use their words, positions & platforms to pull communities together not apart

We must unite against those who seek to divide us.

I know many people, particularly from London's diverse communities, are feeling extremely worried following the events this weekend.

It takes me back to how I felt growing up in the ’70s and ’80s, when
far-right political parties marched on our streets.

The leaders of the far-right are once again attempting to hijack our flag, with minorities being intimidated and fear, hatred and division being sown.

As Londoners, and as proud Brits, we must unite to reject the far-right
– just as we have many times before.

But it’s going to take a huge effort from us all – from people of all races and backgrounds, who are willing to stand up for our British values of equality, inclusion and mutual respect.

As Mayor, I'll continue to do everything I can to challenge the far-right and all those who peddle the politics of fear and division.

I urge other politicians and Londoners to do the same.

MAYOR OF LONDON, SADIQ KHAN
