Mr Mayor, I heard the word ‘failure’ and for some reason the first person I thought of was Boris Johnson [MP, former Mayor of London], your predecessor and of course their Mayor. You have highlighted very helpfully in your answer to Assembly Member Boff some of Boris Johnson’s massive achievements: £320,000 of taxpayers’ cash wasted on water cannon he could not legally use, £40 million on overpriced buses that overheated and were basically mobile saunas, and of course £43 million on the botched Garden Bridge. Do you think that perhaps their mistake is thinking that a mayor should be judged...
