I'm on Ken Livingstone's LBC radio show this morning doing the paper review. Sir Ian Blair, Labour reshuffles and the US financial lifeboat are likely to be top of the agenda. Tune in and listen to the fireworks.

Rather like Ken Livingstone following his defeat in the London Mayoral election, former GMPTA Chairman Roger Jones has kept up his appearances in the local and regional media as if he’d never lost his election in the first place. This has (rightly) annoyed the local residents who voted him out, and he’s taken a fair [...]

Sir Ian Blair has been the most political policeman in living memory. Ever since his appointment he has been known as New Labour's cop. Ken Livingstone - who spent much of his career as leader of the Greater London Council in the 1980s castigating the police - was a big fan. It is a bit rich now blaming Boris Johnson for playing political games: Mayor Johnson has made his view clear regarding Sir Ian...

"Britain's top policeman" Sir Ian Blair managed to annoy just about everyone save a few Ken Livingstone supporters, and a gaggle of special interest groups, so there won't be much mourning now that Boris Johnson has, in effect, forced him to resign: Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair has announced his resignation after three years in the job. He said London mayor Boris Johnson, who took...

In The Independent yesterday : You're on the radio now. Would it be fair to say that's because you're fond of the sound of your own voice? BRIAN CHESTERTON, Maidstone I've always hated the sound of my own voice. If only I sounded like James Mason rather than Kenneth Williams Now there is a thought! Unfortunatley I saw North By Northwest the other day so the imagination just boggles and therefore perhaps...

Boris Johnson's reverse ferret hasn't reached media land just yet. BBC London's chief reporter is in Manchester and the Standard are still investigating Ken Livingstone (investigation due to end 2013). Meanwhile Boris is doing his best to distract us and Kit Malthouse has gone mercifully quiet. But with the news still clogged up somewhere under Tower Bridge, politicians in Kent and Essex have been...

I just wanted to wish Boris congratulations on his victory for Mayor of London. I hope he can turn his energy and excitement into something really positive as far as London is concerned. After years of near hatred, I have to say that I was also a little sad to see Ken Livingstone go (but not a lot). He actually seemed to take it quite well. I had visions of him attacking Gordon Brown, the labour party...
