London Mayor Sadiq Khan appears to have signalled the start of the 2024 race for City Hall.

The mayor’s promised free school meals for all primary school children in the capital to continue as his £140 million flagship policy if he wins a third mayoral term

Khan's pledge is echoed by his Conservative rival Susan Hall to help parents struggling with the cost of living crisis.

It’s marks a countdown to the mayoral elections in 2 May, which includes the capital's voters going to the polls to elect London Assembly members.

The announcement came after a week of Tube strikes by the RMT union in a pay dispute was only averted on Sunday after £30 million was found - but no one’s giving a straight answer about where the mystery money’s come from.

The Standard podcast has the latest from City Hall editor Ross Lydall and local democracy reporter Noah Vickers.
