Or as Lib Dem Jennie said just doing Ken and asking the same questions. Depressing to see Andy Mayer on LDV debating the second choice dilemma for Bry's supporters. Making a case for Johnson creating turmoil and making it easier for Lib Dems to win other seats. So more pollution, more road deaths, less greening, very likely more crime, all on the basis of some gamble on which mayor would be best for the Lib Dems rather than for the people of London. Pathetic. I hope Lib Dem supporters roll their sleeves up and forget Bry and just vote Ken as first preference. If they become complicit in a Johnson victory this will acrtually be good for Labour in the North. But I'm prepared to let that pass for London's sake.

I mean the guy is trying real hard to make headlines and headway but the only show in town is Bojo vs The Newt King... Does any really think Brian had much of a chance though?

I also detest negative campaigning. They could have done the "Ken is great" stuff without the attack on Boris, which completely undermines the whole "we stand together" message.
