Lynne backs Brian for Mayoralty

Top MP, blogger and former GLA member Lynne Featherstone has soared into the lead on Lib Dem Voice’s poll for a London Mayor candidate.

    “Soared into the lead” is a little generous. I have just checked the number and 32 people back her, against 25 for Brian Paddick.

    I voted for Brian, but like Peter, to be honest, I don’t know if he’s a party member. I have seen him at my gym though.

    Stuart, did you tell him he could be the next mayor of London.

    I should have tried to talk him into standing, but perhaps it would have just seemed like the weirdest chat-up ever.

    Yes, this story is in tomorrow’s Times (I just bought a copy on Oxford Street). Go Brian – he’s got some much more experience and gravitas than bumbling Boris.
