Great result in the Mayoral referendum! NO thank you Westminster, NO thank you corporate executives, managers and 'elites', NO thank you to another ghastly Boris and Ken spectacle and NO thank you to another half baked idea importing a system concentrating power in an individual.
And despite the attempted inducements and scarcely veiled threats it wasn't even close, with 57.8% voting against the notion of an elected mayor. This was a people's verdict - and one that we can be proud of. Let us hope that this result along with similar outcomes in other major cities is respected in London.
The London elite - sorry, Government - should give back the powers and assets taken away from local authorities by successive administrations. And up and down the country - and above all here in the largest city outside the capital - we will show how we can use the powers in the best interests of our people and industry.
