I don’t like commenting on politics but he was our MP and I met him on a couple of occasions. I have for about 10 years thought he would at some stage become Labour leader although I I thought Andy Burnham might also……..
Some years back before being Mayor I took an eighty plus year lady to one of his surgeries to discuss a local issue and he definitely came across so poorly and did not impress at all. I certainly would not have employed him !
The opposition he has faced has also been so poor . Boris getting in also surprised me at that time but I would say London is now firmly Labour.
Nobody doing their day job should get a gong unless you do something extra extra special - ULEZ & air pollution ? , Hammersmith bridge, knife crime, Oxford St scheme, LTNs, 20mph - you decide if London is and will prosper ?
The fireworks were nice last night. H N Y MM
PS I look at both front benches with worry but it will be interesting to look back in 4 and a half years ( hopefully I can) .
