Hendy not smeared in Evening Standard, shock

From the TfL boss:

"One of the great things about Boris is his generosity [says Hendy]. He's extremely bright and understanding and he's been tremendously supportive of me. Oddly enough, I think I get on better with Boris than I did with Ken."

From interviewer David Cohen:

Although there were "issues of trust" to overcome at first - with Boris accusing Hendy of being "inappropriately caught up in Ken's political machine" - the Mayor is said to be impressed with Hendy's performance. It appears to have emboldened the Transport Commissioner to give his first interview since the changing of the guard.

I wonder if something else emboldened him too, such as the almost complete absence of Veronica and her guiding hand during the final days of her woeful reign. Whatever, it's a fair and very interesting piece.
