My latest for Cif says:
The capital at the heart of the nation's recessionary pain. The finance sector is its spluttering central engine, the service and retail its flagging major subsidiaries. The crunch will do nothing to shift ground-in social and material inequalities that no mayor alone can correct but can and should strive to address...The state of permanent transition that makes London so exciting is intensifying in volatile ways. Mobilising a broad spread of anti-Boris sentiment will mean grasping what this ferment means for London and Londoners and designing a fresh vision to address it.
It says other stuff too.
