LONDON TONIGHT TONIGHT: Mon 16th July

Good afternoon and welcome to Day One of another week of London Tonight.

Where to start?
Venomous ferocity in Farringdon?
The blitzkrieg on boards, boasting about bountiful estate agents?
Metronet's plea for more millions?
Or Boris?

All is, or all are, there tonight so you don't have to chose: just be there at 6 and feast on it all.

Very few politicians are so iconic that their surnames seem superfluous.
London already has one - Ken.
And we could get another - Boris.

Boris isn't talking, beyond confirming that he wants to ride into battle in Tory colours in search of your votes. "I am not a Tory", I hear many of you scream. Doesn't matter. The Tory party are asking all Londoners who they think should be the Tory candidate for Mayor. So you get not one but potentially two chances to electorally endorse or democratically defenestrate Boris: first, as candidate and next, possibly, as Mayor.
All will be explained when we are joined by the leader of the Conservative Party, David Cameron, live at 6.

It's all got terribly difficult for Metronet: LT keep changing their minds and asking for extra bits and different standards. They find they need half a billion pounds to get back on the straight and narrow.
No they don't, say LT.
And the man who has to decide between these warring factions has decided who is right: full and frank details at 6 and live reaction from the man who runs the Underground, Tim O'Toole.

There's to be a purge on estate agent's boards - shame it is not the estate agents themselves some might argue but we couldn't possibly comment.

Farringdon has a problem with rattle snakes. Yes, that's what I thought too; so we will attempt to explain, without frightening you.

A lack of the right documents for you and your car used to entail a trip to the Cop Shop - now your pride and joy can end up in the crusher if you are caught short of a license, insurance or road tax: and it is happening with record frequency.

I've run out of ink and energy!

There must be something for you in that lot! And the weather and the papers...and your e-mails on Boris.


Katie and I think you have no excuses left.

See you at 6.
