My latest for Cif begins:
It is, all agree, game on at City Hall as The Blond's famous victory recedes into misty memory and he approaches the hard core of his mayoralty. By Christmas, he'd set out the direction, if not the full content, of his main policies. By this time next year he'll be in mid-term. The 12 months in between will reveal a great deal about the political character of London's first Conservative elected mayor and, for his opponents, what it will take to get rid off him.
What happens next? Step this way.
