That was a wonderful piece of positivity from you about Brexit, Mr Mayor, and I thought, well, perhaps from spending nearly three years in the same room as me on occasions, I might have given you some of my optimism about Brexit. Unfortunately, today I have heard too much pessimism, I think. The language that some people use about Brexit is far too pessimistic. You talk about sleepwalking towards a cliff, crashing out and so on, but the people voted to leave the EU because the people were right in being optimistic.

It is quite strange that you used the phrase there “crashing out” because we are not going to be crashing out of the EU. We are going to be walking into our freedom. The greatest wisdom that I have heard in the last month or two is the phrase “no deal, no problem” because we will be leaving and going into World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules. There are a couple of things that you said...

Mr Mayor, I did not get a chance to finish my question of you earlier, but I am glad I could hear your answers to the Labour Assembly Members because you did mention that after two and a half years people understand the reality of the EU. The EU is falling apart. Italian and German banks are nearing the point of collapse. In France there is civil unrest and protest at some of the measures that the EU has brought in with carbon taxes and so on. People all across Europe are very unhappy with the EU. I know that...

A total of 12,555 affordable homes were started in London between April 2017 and March 2018 which is considerably less than the 44,000 affordable homes the mayor claimed is needed. Does he have a date in mind when he will hit his 44,000 target?

On speaking with representatives from the taxi and private hire trade, it has been suggested that Private Hire Operators are required to have Contingent Liability Insurance, so that any third parties affected in incidents and accidents by any of their drivers who do not have the requisite insurance will be covered.
