Thus Boris (by email):
We've started the New Year at City Hall with a laser-like focus on getting all Londoners through the economic downturn. To help pensioners travel to hospital appointments, I've extended the Freedom Pass to 24-hour operation. To help those looking for work, I've granted a half price discount on buses for those on Income Support and Job Seeker's Allowance.
Now more than ever, politicians need to do everything they can to help. Just as Londoners have to tighten their belts, so must we. My budget for this year will find over £100 million of savings across the GLA group, enabling me to freeze the council tax for the first time in 8 years and still deliver 500 extra police officers, improve local parks and trees and maintain investment in public transport.
So up yours, Ken. Oh - and yours, of course, Gordon. Wouldn't want you to feel left out.
