Curb the demonstrations. Cut the admin. Don’t require police attendance at household incidents where they has been no crime. The policing degree should be scrapped. A police equivalent of Sandhurst should be introduced.
The inception of the Thames Freeport was one of the most significant developments in recent years for London’s commercial shipping sector, yet we have not heard a peep from the Mayor.
It’s time to end the Mayor’s war on drivers and his repeated cost of living hikes. Opposition is growing.
The capital’s post-war estates were built at densities far lower than many of London’s best-loved historic neighbourhoods, such as Marylebone. Industrial land is being protected. The Park Royal Industrial Area in Acton alone could deliver 135,000 new homes.
Countries like Saudi Arabia give every adult a plot of land on which to build a home. In the UK roughly half the cost of a home is the cost of the land.
We need a Mayor who will be upfront with people, not someone who brushes things under the carpet.
When the number of crimes in London has reached over one million a year, it is clear that the situation is out of control. The Mayor just offers gimmicks.

I’m not convinced that knowing the Government could intervene, and didn’t, will endear the Conservative Party to voters.
We’ve seen the way that the Conservative Government committing to Net Zero by 2050 has turbocharged research, innovation, and transition away from fossil fuels and towards green technologies. Committing to phase out diesel from London by 2030 would have exactly the same impact.
We must fully include, trust, and listen, to those local leaders from the voluntary party who know exactly how to win on their doorstep.
Andy Street has pursued a brownfield-first policy, with the only exception being around the new High Speed 2 Solihull Rail Station.
She won by a clear margin in the ballot of London Conservative members – 57 per cent to 43 per cent for Moz Hossain.
We often seem to be scared of making the case for less spending, but spending sometimes seems to have no relationship with outcomes.
Whoever is selected by members will have to strike the right balance – securing a high turnout among reliably Conservative voters in reliably Conservative areas, combined with outreach tightly focused on middle-age, middle earners, and topped off by neutralizing Labour’s advantage among highly-educated voters.
