Greg Hands: Crime will be the central issue in this year’s election for Mayor of London

147 people were murdered in the capital last year, the highest level since 2008. There were three knife crime murders in Fulham last year, in my constituency.

Stephen Greenhalgh: The vast majority of those who have been closest to Johnson back him – and trust him to deliver for Britain

As Mayor of London, he carefully selected and built an effective team around him to deliver on his election promises. He trusted that team to get on with the job.

Shaun Bailey: Delaying Brexit is a useful distraction for the Mayor of London

I am determined to refocus the conversation: to how we bring crime levels down; and build the homes we desperately need.

Greg Taylor: Johnson must be bold and deliver real fiscal autonomy

A serious devolution agenda would champion freedom from the suffocating tendrils of risk-averse Whitehall mandarins.

Shaun Bailey: Rent controls will make a bad situation worse. It’s time to build.

Driving landlords out of business would not help tenants. We need more choice and competition by increasing supply.

Gareth Bacon: Khan sees motorists as a cash-cow – and one he intends to milk for all it is worth

There is a threat of London-wide pay as you drive road charge, to fix the damage the Mayor’s done to Transport for London’s finances.

James Frayne: What polling about Johnson tells us

MPs and activists should be asking themselves a big question: what is it that made him popular in the first place?

Shaun Bailey: Khan should honour London’s history, not chase cheap headlines

Where was Khan’s outrage when human rights’ abusers, Mohammed bin Salman, or Xi Jinping, came to visit?

Alok Sharma: Why I am voting for Johnson

We need an unambiguous plan to deliver Brexit, an ambitious and engaging domestic agenda, and a proven winner. His candidacy offers all three.

Shaun Bailey: We need to find practical ways of cleaning up London’s air

Hitting Londoners with a tax for driving when they have no alternative is unfair. More electric car charging points and improved public transport are needed.

Shaun Bailey: London needs a mayor who is focused on the job of tackling crime

This key responsibility isn’t just a question about resources. It’s also about attitude and delivery.

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.”

Sanjoy Sen: Motorists and manufacturers need more coherent vehicle regulation

With Westminster, Holyrood, and City Hall all setting overlapping rules, confusion and expense are sure to follow.

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.
