Politics Show and Progressive London

The London segment of Sunday's Politics Show will concentrate on the condition of the London Left as it comes to terms - or not - with Boris's victory last May, and also have something on the not unrelated matter of the Evening Standard's change of owner. I know this because the programme's reporter Andrew Cryan told me when he interviewed me about both these things on Thursday lunchtime. Don't know if my contributions will make the cut, but I'll be watching anyway. John Biggs and others have been lined up too.

The Beeb team will also be at tomorrow's Progressive London conference, booked to bag an interview with Ken Livingstone while there. I'll be on the scene too, along with Helene. I'll be Twittering about proceedings from Congress House and possibly blogging too depending on time and facilities. Will progressive really mean progressive?

Update, 18:06 From Helene's interview with Livingstone, which I've just read. He says Progressive London is about:

Bringing together the majority of Londoners who want to see progressive politics, take a view they welcome a racially diverse city and want to see climate change tackled. And broadly people who happily take a Barack Obama agenda.

Will Boris be there then? Have a good weekend!
