yeah as a Londoner: he broke his promises *spectacularly* while pouring hundreds of millioms into vanity nonsenses, 100% fuck him, worst Mayor ever https://twitter.com/AdamBienkov/status/1197982810193244160
'overdelivered', yeah if by 'overdelivered' you mean 'delivered more taxpayer money than was strictly legal to cronies and people you were secretly sleeping with' maybe
'what's that, Thomas Heatherwick? A funicular railway, made of meringue, connecting St Paul's Cathedral and Narnia? Of course, here's fifty million quid, we'll take it out of after-school clubs'
'Fire services? Shut 'em. Plough the money into making all the terrible new buses smell unaccountably of cat piss. Here's some Latin so you know I'm your boss'
doesn't look like it'll be litigated before the election but it really looks like the most salient bit of his mayoral record is he was having a secret affair with a woman to whom he illicitly diverted hundreds of thousands of pounds in taxpayer money and valuable work visas
anyway the important thing is that anyone else running for the job is questioned closely about hypothetical global-scale nuclear-weapon Kobayashi Maru scenarios, not their history or otherwise of amazing pathological deception and corruption on every other scale
I can't believe I said 'millioms', I demand the epistemological apocalypse of a Twitter Edit Button now
I definitely want the people at CCHQ who decided to rebrand themselves as FactCheckUK to be able to retrospectively edit tweets, this is a very good solution to the big problem that is me occasionally misspelling words in tweets that get nine faves
