Boris Johnson is considering an attempt to topple Ken Livingstone as mayor of London.
Mr Johnson said: "Being mayor of London would be a fantastic job and anyone who loves London would want to consider the possibility very carefully. "
There is no constitutional barrier to an MP being a mayor at the same time.

Oi Bartram not all members thank you.
And i love Boris, a must watch on question time but I wouldn't want him to be mayor of my Garden!
His policies may seem somewhat oddball sometimes but he cant be accused of sherking a decision just in case it might make him unpopular, like many career politicians.
Boris Johnson is just a complete upper class (and nothing wrong with that) joke figure who, if he hadn't had the luck to be born where he was, would probably have been the sad comic figure always desperately trying to get attention by trying to make others laugh-
Hang on a mo..... ?
For that reason alone I reckon the full weight of Charlton Life should swing in behind him.
Wont condone fundamentalist Islam and in fact has backed, financed and endorsed some of the Mosques that are now the breeding ground for Islamists (this comes from a one time member of the British Jihadi Network) and tries to make links with President Chavez of Venezuela, who is thought of as the South American version of Mugabe....
Lets not even get onto phasing traffic lights to make his money making congestion schemes seems as though they're working when in fact they're just a cash raising effort....
As someone said on the TV last night, if 10 yrs ago you would have said that Livingston would have been as highly regarded as he is, people would have laughed, so why cant Boris be taken just as seriously.
certainly for the better than the current twat

Absolute crap. Try looking up Livingstone's comments after the 7/7 bombings to see him condemn fundamentalism in Islam. Just because he won't join The Sun and The Daily Mail in tarring every Muslim as a terrorist does not make him an appeaser.
Secondly, what do YOU know about Hugo Chavez apart from what you have read in The Sun? Chavez is NOTHING like Mugabe and the Yanks and the rich Venezuelans hate him because he is trying to turn around 200 years of the top 5% rich Venezuelans shitting all over the 95% desperately poor people there. He has been DEMOCRATICALLY elected by people despite a very hostile media (owned by the mega rich families like the Cisneros) so is nothing like Mugabe. He is basically trying to divert the countrys oil wealth to ALLits people.
Please get your facts even half right before launching into this sort of nonsense.
Boris Johnson (sp?) acts the buffoon, but is actually a clever bloke who knows exactly what he is doing...that said, I don't think he has much in common with your average Londoner and so would probably be equally crap.
Nope the Daily Mail masses in Bexley can vote in the GLA elections.
A GLA member a glorified councillor gets paid £55,000/annum for a thre day week the GLA only sit Tuesday to Thursday...
Up there with Anthony Wedgewood Benn as one of my political heroes :-)
Chavez as well - all power to him!

Comparing Chavez to Mugabe is a bit like comparing Mandela to Hitler and just blatantly embarrassing. Yes Chavez has his faults but as usual the right wing press in the western world are out to get him because he may tip the corporate apple cart and stop the good old energy addicted US of A from raping and pilaging another third world country with their big bully tactics.
As for Livingston I think it's time for a change but to be honest who else is going to do any better.

Ken Livingstone is a "grade A, prize winning, c*nt"...and you want to murder him?
Twat.
Obviously. Mandela is more of a Bin Laden figure ;-)
I was having this debate (on the Mayor of London) the other day with a mate. Apart from improving Public Transport, what else has Livingston done? Time to go Ken.
oh dear.
Chill out people, it's Friday.

OH NO
