To answer - Lee Jasper was not mentioned here, as even Boriswatch thought his treatment was a little harsh. And we'd quite like an example of how Boris won through "bad politics"... Who voted Boris:

A good early lesson for Boris - some things are too important to delegate. Always apply the "Mirror Test"; If this goes wrong what's it going to look like on the front page of the Daily Mirror?

Tell me, O Englanders, are the two who got targeted people who've worked with Boris in the past? Or are they part of the Tory machine that was parachuted in to get Boris elected? My understanding is that the first idjut was indeed part of the machine, but Lewis I don't know about. Would be a nasty, yet very effective way of consolidating control of the mayor's office, I'm thinking, leaking info on your rivals that you'd be in a very good position to know...because you screened the applications. I don't know too much about Lewis, but he did impress me as a man with a brain in his head and a heart that was at least as big. The Guardian is taking credit for this, but now they're muted in their gloating, reporting that the one instance of financial impropriety they could find dated back to 1997 and was made right by Lewis years ago, with apologies.
