On Thursday it’s vital that Londoners sack Sadiq and get our city’s future back.

Very sad indeed. Andrew was a good friend and colleague when we worked together as Ministers at DCLG. His knowledge and commitment was respected across local government and Westminster.

I’ve listened to people across London and it’s clear that you feel that you have been ignored for the past 8 years. With your support on May 2nd, I will put things right.

My plan to make London safer:

1. Bring back borough-based policing
2. Recruit 1,500 more police officers
3. Open at least 2 new police bases in every single borough
4. Appoint a women’s commissioner
5. Put more CCTV on the Underground

🗓️ At 2.30pm today, we are continuing our inquiry on the probate service.

So far we have covered:

✅ the impact of error and delay on charities
✅ practitioners’ views on recent performance

After seeing WNO's superb Death in Venice last night, played to a sold out and hugely enthusiastic Bristol Hippodrome, I feel more LIVID than ever at ACE and ACW's crass and vindictive cuts to the company's budget. Nothing short of vandalism
