Susan Hall will be the next Conservative non-Mayor of London - official.

Not a good idea to annoy the #serjeantatarms ! Mind you it does make a change from them (CCHQ) shortlisting a candidate for #mayoroflondon with - it seems - an idiosyncratic notion of what a "hands on" approach was supposed to mean!
#serjeantatarms #mayoroflondon
In central #london there appears to be a swath of planning applications to convert the more marginal commercial real estate to mixed and/or other use. This seems a logical response and may well find favour with both the relevant #boroughs and the #mayorofLondon - since May 2022 just one #localcouncil there remains #conservative !

A slight trace of the #berlusconi connection in #labour may have been present in the opposition to the selection of #sadiqkhan as candidate for #mayorofLondon in 2015.

A note of caution!
Experience shows that a journalist/presenter with a consistent record of lying - and being dismissed for doing so - may manage nonetheless to have a highly successful career albeit to the serious detriment of wider society.
It is not so long ago that an individual with such a record managed to be elected #mayorofLondon twice and go on later to be #PrimeMinister
The world is still coming to terms with the legacy of #BorisJohnson

#Westminster has been rather well funded historically by #centralgovernment since the days of the dreadful #LadyPorter so not really analogous. #TransportforLondon has had a really poor deal - agreed to by the previous #mayorofLondon #BorisJohnson - but is being funded by a sharp rise in the #precept for #counciltax levied across #London. #Devolution to #London considerable but has come at rather a stiff price.

Not sure but I suspect that the fact there is only #uktory council left in the entire area of the former #LCC area may have something to do with it - and of course the #mayorofLondon has been #Labour since 2016 - which must help.

What is more the processes that led to the initial choice of #sadiqkhan to stand for #mayorofLondon and #JeremyCorbyn to be leader of the #LabourParty were very much entwined. Neither was the #establishment candidate. The #establishment would have preferred others - someone linked indirectly to #Berlusconi in the case of #london! Both benefited from the surge in #Labour membership immediately after the #2015 #GeneralElection.

Except that #sadiqkhan is in a very much stronger position than the unfortunate Frank Dobson ever was.
#Labour in #London chose him through an entirely reputable process. He has served as #mayorofLondon for seven years already.
And just look at his enemies - not just the #Conservatives but also #Trump
It would take a major splintering of the left of centre vote for him to be defeated by a #Conservative
Yet #Corbyn standing could cause just that.

@GeorgeAylett
Taking down a successful #Labour #mayorofLondon in order to spite other people - some of whom almost certainly wanted a very different candidate the first time round ((in 2015/2016) - would be worse than unjust. It is likely to be highly counter-productive as well.
@GeorgeAylett
This has to be a seriously bad idea! The most likely consequence would be the election of a #Conservative #mayorofLondon next year in place of #sadiqkhan given that the #Conservatives have abolished the #supplementaryvote in favour of #firstpastthepost for #elected #mayors
This looks like a combination of kicking the unfortunate cat in lieu of anyone else and cutting off one's nose to spite one's face.
Millions of Londoners do not deserve any of this!
#conservative #mayoroflondon #sadiqkhan #conservatives #supplementaryvote #firstpastthepost #elected #mayors
Do not forget #sadiqkhan who paved the way by being elected #mayorofLondon in May 2016!
There is a tale to be told in time of the many obstacles that had to be overcome - including within the #LabourParty - but not perhaps in the run up to rather important #Localelections !

Cleaner air is coming to outer London! 👏 👏 👏
The #MayorofLondon has today announced the expansion of the #ULEZ to outer #London in a move that will bring cleaner air to *5 million* more Londoners.
Thank you @SadiqKhan 🙏👏
