Jenny Jones accuses mayor of lies at MQT

Helene Mulholland was at MQT for the Guardian today. She writes:

Boris Johnson was today branded "a liar" in the London assembly chamber after he promised to help Londoners through the economic downturn.

Jenny Jones, a Green assembly member, barracked the mayor of London in front of a full public gallery for claiming he was doing all he could to help Londoners through the recession, while at the same time introducing above-inflation fares for the next eight years...

"You are charging bus passengers and tube passengers more and yet say you are not going to ask for more money but you are," Jones told the mayor. "You can't have it both ways."

The Blond's charms have worn thin on the Green. Helene's full report is here. Meanwhile, Mayorwatch has picked up on something else.
