No matter how big or powerful you are, you must play by the rules – especially when it comes to the safety of Londoners, uber has been granted a 15-month license to operate in London – but with a clear set of conditions that TfL will closely monitor and enforce.

London has always been open to trade, people, ideas. We have to keep that. I want to compete not just with New York, Paris, Berlin... the ten fastest growing cities in the world are in China. How do we compete with them? We have to attract investment and we have to compete on skills.

Most employers I speak to, they want to create jobs and give decent salaries. Some small and medium companies say to me they cannot afford to pay the living wage. I say "what about if I gave you a business rate cut?" and they say, yes, ok. We want companies which are skilled up, generating more profit, more corporation tax - we should not be embarrassed at success, as long as they pay their taxes.

You will know my track record which is standing up to the big boys, and they are boys, and make sure everyone plays by the rules.

This illegal action is extremely dangerous, counterproductive and is causing unacceptable disruption to Londoners who use public transport to get to work.

This illegal action is extremely dangerous, counterproductive and is causing unacceptable disruption to Londoners who use public transport to get to work, it is also an unfair burden on our already overstretched police officers.

Im extremely concerned about the impact the protests are having on our ability to tackle issues like violent crime if they continue any longer, it simply isnt right to put Londoners safety at risk like this.

It is absolutely crucial to get more people using public transport, as well as walking and cycling, if we are to tackle this climate emergency.

Heart-breaking scenes of Notre Dame cathedral in flames. London stands in sorrow with Paris today, and in friendship always.

This is a landmark day for our city. Our toxic air is an invisible killer responsible for one of the biggest national health emergencies of our generation, the ULEZ is the centerpiece of our plans to clean up London's air -- the boldest plans of any city on the planet, and the eyes of the world are on us.

When the flames of hatred are fanned, when people are demonized because of their faith, when people's fears are played on rather than addressed, the consequences are deadly, as we have seen so sadly today.

The idea that we restrict freedom of speech, the right to assemble, the right to protest because somebody might be offended is a slippery slope.

The idea that we restrict freedom of speech, the right to assemble, the right to protest because somebody might be offended is a slippery slope, we have a rich history in this country of having a sense of humor as well.

I have no doubt that if President Donald Trump does come, there will be some people who want to express their views loudly and peacefully to the President, we have got a great history in our city of bringing about change by protest, the key thing is for it to be lawful, for it to be peaceful.

Banning the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030, providing support to deliver Clean Air Zones in cities and introducing a national vehicle renewal scheme will dramatically improve our air quality and our health.

Berlin and Paris start from a low base, and frankly speaking can only go one way, london is different to the rest of the UK. Our underlying strengths - we're the financial capital of the country, the cultural and political capital - that's not going to change.

Social media companies ...need to do more, they need to make sure that they themselves take responsibility for these problems rather than regulation being imposed on them.
