To try to garner votes for the upcoming local elections they intend to have a blitz on litter. After leaving our streets untouched for three months they will be cleaned in the run-up to May. They must think we’re daft to fall for that one.

After the murder of Sarah Everard, London’s Mayor vowed to protect women when travelling around the city. At the same time, Sadiq Khan has taken 9,000 perfectly serviceable cabs off the road. By my calculations that means nearly half-a-million fewer available journeys per week. Just saying.

So what did you think of London’s New Year’s fireworks? I thought Sydney and Dubai were pretty good. Can’t say I liked London’s much.
