The beleaguered media tycoon is, however, still considered to be a more attractive proposition than David Cameron by Guto Harri, the right-hand man to Boris Johnson. Mandrake can disclose that Harri has spurned a second offer to become the Prime... Full Article at The Telegraph
(Though the society happily hosted a meeting recently to promote assisted suicide which, unlike marriage, is still against the law.) Adjoining this was a fine rant by Boris Johnson against the BBC: “statist, corporatist, anti-business, Europhile and,... Full Article at The Telegraph UK

Huge numbers of people in London depend on their cars. Fuel duty is becoming a big factor in people’s cost of living. I believe in trying to ease these burdens.
That was precisely why some of us, back in the 1990s, were trying to point out that it was doomed to fail. But how all those commanding heights can now be brought back to any intelligent understanding of the world is another matter. Boris Johnson calls... Full Article at Climate Realists

It will culminate in the flame being brought to the Olympic Stadium for the opening of the Games on July 27. "This is a big acceleration of the heartbeat," London Mayor Boris Johnson said as he summed up the moment. "This is the final furlong for us." ... Full Article at Gossip Center

Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson (born 19 June 1964) is an English politician and journalist. The current Mayor of London, he previously served as the Conservative Member of Parliament for Henley and as editor of The Spectator magazine. Full Article At Wikipedia.org
You've got to take the decisions in the next four years, when you're buying the new trains, that we never again have an old fashioned cab with a driver in it that we've got at the moment
This Mayor has prioritised smooth traffic flow over the safety of pedestrians and cyclists on our roads. Boris Johnson’s policy is killing cyclists.
It is clearly offensive to suggest that being gay is an illness that someone recovers from and I am not prepared to have that suggestion driven around London on our buses.
When fare rises have been hiked up so much by Boris Johnson many people will now question why he has failed to deliver on his pledge not to pour public money into the cable car.
Obviously it's an eventuality that I try not to contemplate
We would like to send you a list of phone canvassing for our ‘Labour gap’ voters —people who told us they vote Labour at general elections, but are supporting Boris Johnson for the mayoralty
Security is obviously a great priority for us and we're making sure everything is in place ... We think the risk level has come down but clearly you can never be complacent.
This is a city where people don't worry about your colour, your faith, your age ... It's about what you are. Boris Johnson's highest level of support is from people over 60; mine is people under 25. Ironic, considering what I did for older people with the Freedom Pass.
London is one of the most tolerant cities in the world and intolerant of intolerance. It is clearly offensive to suggest that being gay is an illness that someone recovers from and I am not prepared to have that suggestion driven around London on our buses.
Everyone who appears in Labour's party political broadcast is an ordinary Londoner backing Ken on 3 May. No actors were used in the broadcast.

I not only keep my promises, I keep the ones he broke.
I don't want to see Boris Johnson re-elected ... but I can't vote for Ken Livingstone.
It would appear that in 2008, rising levels of deprivation were associated with voting for Boris Johnson. It is paradoxical that as outer London has got poorer, it has appeared to vote for Johnson. Ken Livingstone will no doubt be hoping to reverse this with his policies in 2012.
Thank you for the delicious chew-lent

the figures I’ve seen most recently suggest that we’ve had a great deal of success on knife crime.
The Tories have failed offer a positive alternative in this election. Boris Johnson has argued strongly for a tax cut for millionaires while saying nothing about George Osborne's budget which took money away from pensioners and families in London. It's time for a mayor who will stand up for Londoners ra...
The biggest shock for me from the riots was the sheer sense of nihilism - perhaps I should not have been shocked, but in my view literacy and numeracy are the best places to start. In seven particular boroughs in London one in four children are leaving functionally illiterate. In a few schools it is nea...
Boris Johnson and the Conservative Government have made it clear where their priorities lie. They have lined up with a multinational company with a long history of business malpractice and against the victims of Bhopal and the 500,000 people of Indian origin who live in London
I am not the Chancellor of the Exchequer. I did not write the Budget.
My constituency in Brent and Harrow has one of the highest Indian populations in the country. I have been warning Boris Johnson for six months that the Indian community will not accept Dow being part of the Olympics in their home town. Boris has shown that he is not concerned how the Indian community fe...
We’re heading into what will surely be the most exciting and inspiring summer of sport this country has every seen, and it is only right that the capital’s young people are at the heart of the action.
