LONDON — London Mayor Sadiq Khan is working with the Foreign Office and the Square Mile to counter a rise in “online disinformation” about the British capital and allay the concerns of spooked investors.

“The foreign secretary and I've discussed this,” Khan told POLITICO as he kicked off a week-long trade mission to Singapore and Japan with the launch of a £7 million counter-disinformation campaign.

International firms and diplomats are “reporting back to our diplomatic corps issues around news they've seen on social media,” Khan said.
