Outdoor dining hot spots are popping up across London this summer thanks to funding from City Hall. Westminster, Brixton, Leyton and Shoreditch will see new car-free spaces where Londoners can get together and enjoy our fantastic food scene. See more: timeout.com/london/news/it…
I’m pleased to announce 4G and 5G coverage is expanding on the Northern, Piccadilly and Victoria lines, keeping even more Londoners connected while travelling. It’s a step towards full coverage across the Tube network and a better, more connected London for everyone.
Plans to make Shoreditch High Street safer and easier to walk and cycle are now out for consultation. @TfL is proposing new crossings, cycle lanes and wider pavements, and they want to hear what you think. 🗓️ Have your say by 12 September: haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/shoreditch-hig…

Today was my last day at No 10 as the Prime Minister’s Adviser on AI. It’s been a privilege to serve over the last year and - I hope - to make a small contribution to putting the UK on the path to being an AI winner
Today we have taken a big step forward. Protecting children from harmful online content that has no place in their feeds. I'm determined kids can benefit from technology without fear of seeing unsuitable content.
Companies on the internet, including social media outlets, will need to verify ages to protect children from viewing porn and other harmful content. Technology Secretary @peterkyle says, 'You will experience a different internet moving forward.' trib.al/TVSaeM7

Since 2017 we've been asking governments for powers to regulate dockless bikes. I'm delighted the new government have included this in the English devolution bill. Dockless e-bikes are well-used & popular - with new powers we'll tackle parking issues & make them safer for all.
