London mayor pushes police to scrutinize expo linked to West Bank settlements

London Mayor Sadiq Khan opposes the upcoming Great Israeli Real Estate Event in London that promotes companies tied to illegal Israeli settlements and says he has discussed it with the Metropolitan Police, Foreign Office and Home Office. Legal groups have asked the Met to consider possible offences and whether a Serious Crime Prevention Order should be used to block the event, while organisers deny wrongdoing and the government has warned businesses against activity in settlements.

London’s murder rate hits decades-low, Khan says, refuting Trump’s dystopian warnings

London recorded 97 homicides in 2025, the lowest in decades, with a population-rate of 1.1 per 100,000—the lowest since comparable records began in 1997 and down from 109 murders in 2024. Mayor Sadiq Khan says the figures undermine Donald Trump and other right‑wing claims that crime in London is out of control, crediting targeted policing and a violence-reduction unit for the drop. While murder and violent crime have fallen, the Crime Survey for England and Wales shows overall crime rose about 7% in the year to March 2025, with minor crimes like phone theft up in the city; Khan cautioned against misinformation on social media that paints London as a dystopia.
