Gareth Johnson: An Outer London Congestion Charge would be catastrophic for Dartford

The people who will pay this charge have no say over who the London Mayor is. It is a form of taxation without representation or accountability.

Ben Obese-Jecty: To tackle serious youth violence effectively, London needs a more robust strategy

Ignoring the over-representation of young black men as both victims and perpetrators of violence won’t stop families losing their sons.

Susan Hall: Khan has great power. Yet he acts like a commentator.

For five years, he has pleaded poverty, passed blame, and avoided responsibility, instead of delivering for Londoners.

The incumbent Mayor of London has proved woeful. So why won’t he be voted out on May 6th?

Finding home ownership unaffordable means that many Conservatives have abandoned the capital.

Iain Dale: I see Prince Harry is now a misinformation officer. May I suggest he starts with a certain interview.

Plus: Why did it take the police so long to investigate the endemic corruption within Liverpool City Council?

Susan Hall: The 9.5 per cent rise in the Mayor of London’s Council Tax precept is unjustified

Khan’s latest virtue signalling project is his expensive statue-toppling commission. It’s an outrageous waste of taxpayers’ cash.

Failure is not inevitable. Elsewhere, effective transport networks are being delivered. We need that in our capital.

There is now ample evidence that lockdown has put rocket boosters under the trend for people to work from home.

Tony Devenish: The Greater London Authority is undermining localism

If the Mayor is incapable of doing his job, the Government will have to call in the inspectors to take charge.

Bailey must stand

Socialist hegemony in our capital can only be challenged if Conservatives are unapologetic in fighting the battle of ideas.

David Burrowes: Our new relationship with Europe is an opportunity to show more compassion to refugees

I am troubled by signs coming from the UK-EU negotiations. We must not water down rights for those fleeing war, persecution and violence.

Shaun Bailey: Bad management made the bailout of Transport for London necessary

But after the waste, mismanagement, and broken promises of the Mayor, it is right that tough conditions are attached,

Is the scaling back of services on London tube and buses doing more harm than good?

Closing 40 tube stations may give us a “nudge” to stay at home. But reducing the frequency of trains makes overcrowding worse.

Shaun Bailey: I will put 40,000 police officers on the streets of London to make people safe

It would require some tough decisions to pay for it – decisions I am ready to take: cutting budgets on marketing, staff, and union reps.
