Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · Jul 23

The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood.

There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.

Statement from the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan that reads: 'The absolutely harrowing scenes of suffering in Gaza are being made worse by the day, with no sign of the crisis abating. Starving children searching hopelessly for food in the rubble. Family members shot dead by Israeli soldiers as they search for aid. In heartbreaking scenes, innocent lives are being torn apart before the eyes of the world.

The international community - including our own government - must do far more to pressure the Israeli government to stop this horrific, senseless killing and let vital life-saving aid in. Nothing justifies the actions of the Israeli government.

The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.'

As the Mayor to a city of more than one million Catholics, I want to express my sadness, and the sadness of all Londoners, at the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. He was a man of courage and humility who demonstrated how cooperation between faiths was a force for good.

Since 2019, when I’ve conceptualised and coordinate Greater London Authority’s annual LVRW, I’ve ensured Political & Media Literacy are key and have co-written many resources. Great to see it included as a case study in the Electoral Commission report into review of the curriculum. lnkd.in/eim4-eUp

The image shows the text: “The annual GLA-led London Voter Registration Week, and the wider GLA Civic and Democratic Participation programme were designed by Dr. Elisabeth Pop to be co-designed and co-delivered with under-registered and under-represented communities and to include political and media literacy resources.”

Delighted to honour the invitation of H.E. Laura Popescu to celebrate the Romanian National Day with my community. As a proud British-Romanian, I remain committed to ensuring the voices of Romanian Londoners, and all other London communities, get heard in civic life and in the democratic process.
