Mayor Of London. 1.4 Million Spectators Attended Women’s Sport In London In 2025. Image: six female athletes from different sports in action poses, with an orange gradient background.

At the start of the year, I declared London the undisputed global capital for women’s sport in 2025.

I’m proud that our city has so emphatically delivered, with more than a million fans in London coming to watch the best in the world compete.

Pretty soon there won’t be any more voices to silence. This is tragic.

It's official,

#care should be in your #community, whether at home or in a #carehome. People shouldn't be priced out of the community that nurtured them by a failing #socialcare system. People should continue to be supported by those who know them best - family, GP, chaplain etc.

Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

With their strong roots and love of my home county of Mayo and proud Mancunians, Ireland will lay out the welcome mat for the boys this weekend🇮🇪

In their mother's hometown of Charlestown you can buy Oasis soup... you get a roll with it😂

A spider’s web is delicate yet incredibly strong—its silk can be tougher than steel by weight. #Communities are like webs: each connection may seem small, but together they create a network strong enough to hold and protect us all. Think about your web today 🕸️...

Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care.

Rebel Women, Florence Nightingale In one of the poems of his later life, Thomas Hardy mused upon the devastation caused by the First World War, and called it ‘A Time of the Breaking of Nations’. Like the revolutions of the 1800s, t…

As Trump Administration Plans to Burn Contraceptives, Europeans Are Alarmed The U.S. government intends to incinerate $9.7 million in already-purchased birth control in Belgium after U.S.A.I.D shut down. Destruction may have already started.

The Trump administration’s plans to incinerate $9.7 million in birth control pills and other contraceptives stored in a Belgian warehouse have left European governments struggling as they try to prevent the destruction.
