There is one school of thought that says Mayors should cut ribbons, be funny and be a buffoon. The other school of thought is that we can do more. Scotland is getting more powers. Wales is getting more powers. Greater Manchester. London needs more powers.

What London wants is a champion, a fighter for London. It doesn't want a patsy of George Osborne or David Cameron.

I'm going to bring in something called the London Living Rent. These are homes where rent is one third of average local earnings.

I believe in neighbourhood policing. We also need to look at young people being radicalised.

London had always been different. There is the old saying that Britain is ten years behind America, and the country as a whole is ten years behind London. If you have a Mayor of London working for jobs and growth and strong businesses, that is going to create opportunities for businesses and people in Burnley or Hull and places all over the UK.

How is it having more control if there is double the immigration as there would be under an Australian style points system?

My biggest concern is security and keeping Londoners safe.
