Unpaid Council Tax is up from £4.5billion to £7.5billion in four years.
The Labour government's tax on London is going to make this worse.
I am running for Mayor to fight for a better settlement for our city.

#PayAndMorale Survey: 78% of Metropolitan Police officers say their force relies heavily on officer goodwill to meet routine operational demands, and 50% have felt unsafe on duty because of staffing levels in the past three months.

France24.
Apparently
The weekend protests were largely peaceful.
The death of an individual at the hands of “white supremacist” fits with France’s culture of blaming foreigners for their woes after the French Revolution.
All that from the analysis of an American professor on French history.
For me,
It didn’t look that peaceful, the French Revolution followed bankruptcy of the state as a result of funding the American war of independence.
Do I sniff a little partisan bias by France24
Another officer acquitted but had his career destroyed and ultimately took his life.
When will the CPS’s “but it’s in the public interest” when conviction is unlikely, be examined and should prosecutors themselves face questions.
Shame on the system and shame on forces.

Watch on @ITVX:

How to ask police to do more whilst at the same time underming and demoralising them.
Two paragraphs in the Gov look to blame police for the failures of those governments to fund and support that policing
"Trust in the police has been undermined by failures in vetting and the appalling misconduct of some officers."

In a few days these black cabbies will be transporting veterans from various stations across London to the Cenotaph.
So today is a shout out for them.

En ce 27 octobre, j’ai une pensée particulière pour Léon Gautier, qui aurait eu 104 ans aujourd’hui.
Dernier survivant des 177 Français du commando Kieffer ayant débarqué en Normandie le 6 juin 1944, Léon Gautier avait pris part à l’un des événements majeurs de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, en combattant pour la libération de la France.
Pourtant, Léon Gautier ne voulait pas être considéré comme un héros. Il se définissait simplement comme un homme qui avait fait son devoir.
Ne jamais oublier. 🖤
Confirmed: a 17-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, and the force has made a mandatory IOPC referral, as it must after any death following police contact.
A referral isn't an allegation of wrongdoing.
What typically happens next:
Suspect: interview with an appropriate adult, then release under investigation, bail or charge. The CPS decides. Under-18s are normally dealt with in the youth court.
Officers: the IOPC decides who investigates. Officers are usually witnesses unless there's an indication of misconduct or crime. The pursuit is reviewed against College of Policing guidance, and an inquest follows.
It takes months.

37 years ago Mick and his 6 month old daughter were murdered by the IRA, years may pass but the memories stay, may they both rest in peace, 💔💔💔💔
I dare suggest there may well be another side to this.
Putting on a cherished emblem of remembrance and respect doesn’t always mean your intent is driven by some greater good.

172 years ago today.

“Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell.
They that had fought so well
Came through the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred”

I refuse to buy into the pessimism, negativity, and self-loathing about London and Britain.
Take it from a first generation immigrant and son of a cleaner who grew up on a tough council estate in the East End.
I am running for Mayor to restore pride and purpose in our capital city.
