James who's responsible for rising knife crime in the rest of England? Your lot decimated youth services, family support, gang initiatives. Used to be police liaison, pastoral leads and child psychology access in every school when I worked on youth violence. It's all gone now.

I've been asked why I've been critical of rolling out the red carpet for President Trump's State Visit given the USA is a close ally.

My answer is simple: The USA and UK have been best mates for decades. When your best mate does something wrong, you have to call them out on it.

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

Londoners appreciate the solidarity @BilldeBlasio has shown to our city. Proud to work with him and mayors across the USA on our shared challenges.
