    The tories always promise to get tough on crime, yet the reality is always the complete opposite.

    I think the point is that this report was published in 2008.

    Absolutely, and fair play to Labour who acted on it, shame is we were in such a situation which all the previous governments failed miserably on. And, naturally, the Tories will blame the financial crash etc and the yah-boo tit-for-tat continues. We're so blessed having two main parties diametrically opposed...

    Convicted Greenwich Councillor Still Being Paid Allowances



    The fraudster Councillor convicted of claiming for a council house whilst owning three other properties in Greenwich continued to take money from the council even after her fraudulent housing arrangements were uncovered, Guido can reveal. Guido reported on her trial a month ago…

    An FoI has revealed that Tonia Ashikodi, who was elected as a Labour Councillor in 2016, has received £17,458.50 from Greenwich taxpayers since the council discovered she had illegally sequestered council housing in May 2018. She remains a councillor and no by-election has been scheduled. The stuff they can get away within the 82% Labour People’s Republic of Greenwich…

    and it wont just be labour at it
    bound to be some tories at it as well
    put any caught in jail and sell their houses until any monies have been repaid

    Under Tories Poor Have Got Richer, Rich Have Got Poorer



    Figures out from the ONS prove what Guido has been highlighting for a decade of Tory budgets. Tory Chancellors since Osborne have been redistributionist, taxes and welfare measures have bashed the rich and boosted the poor. Since the credit crisis those on the highest incomes have seen their income fall by 5% and those on lowest incomes have seen their income rise by 5%. Instead of cutting taxes for everybody, “Bash the rich” Tory policies have seen a leveling down…

    Today I've announced I’m proud to support calls to recognise misogyny as a hate crime.

    It's time for every Londoner to call out sexist and misogynistic attitudes wherever we encounter them – in the workplace, at school, on the streets or public transport.
