Alison Cork: To flourish, the retail sector in London needs the chance to adapt

Why not build more co-working spaces into large retail units, to fit modern lifestyles? Places like Pret A Manger already double as mobile offices for many people.

Shaun Bailey: London just isn’t working for everyone. We need a Mayor who will help it to do so.

Stephen Greenhalgh: The Conservatives need a stronger crime-fighting agenda for the capital

We must bring in the technology to allow frontline police officers to carry scanners which enable them to detect knives and guns beneath clothing

WATCH: Bailey says London is now more dangerous than when he grew up

“We don’t intervene early enough with crime, we’re not supporting young people enough to learn how to avoid those things.”

Andrew Wood: Are school budgets being cut?

Greater clarity is needed to prevent special interest groups from presenting a misleading picture.

Gareth Bacon: Khan pushed up Council Tax – but he fails to give priority to fighting crime

London’s Mayor is overseeing an administration typified by virtue signalling, financial incompetence, and wasteful spending.

Theodora Dickinson: The Conservative campaign machine in London is in a dire state

Our capital is an aspirational city where a message of opportunity from our party should cut through. We can win these voters back. We just need to try.

By Theodora Dickinson | 24 January 2019 | 75 comments

A snap election and a Tory nightmare. Losing seats in London without gaining them elsewhere.

The point here is the electoral trade-off between what could plausibly happen in the capital and the provinces – with Corbyn entering Downing Street in consequence.

“No-one voted for Brexit to become poorer.” Really? We vote to deny ourselves money all the time.

Security, cohesion, integration, solidarity: all are intangible. But we pay – literally – to gain them. Why single out self-government?

Shaun Bailey: Khan has taken his eye off the ball on Crossrail

It was on time and on budget when Boris Johnson left office. Now the opening has now been pushed back from December last year to August 2020.

James Frayne: Five new political parties that could be formed

Kevin Davis: Each London borough should have its own directly elected mayor

By Kevin Davis | 21 December 2018 | 29 comments

John Moss: The next Mayor of London needs to back redevelopment of council estates, to get the new homes we need

Bold plans could see 100,000 extra properties. It would also mean an improved quality of housing for existing tenants.

By John Moss | 17 December 2018 | 5 comments

Bob Blackman: Homelessness remains a blight on our society

Local authorities are still waiting until people are actually homeless before offering assistance. This is expensive and has an unnecessary impact on vulnerable people.

By Bob Blackman MP | 14 December 2018 | 25 comments

Shaun Bailey: Labour is already playing nasty in the election for Mayor of London

Khan does not want to talk about his record. That is because he is failing Londoners. So instead he is trying to blame others.
