Boris Johnson unveiled the latest advancement in his famous street bike design on Wednesday.... That's not true. He was actually promoting t...

New research by national sight loss charity RNIB has revealed that 17,000 vision impaired people of working age look set to be displaced from their homes as a result of the Bedroom Tax. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, they will have to choose between relocating or losing a portion of their benefits (which will be on average £14 a week; a sizeable sum when you are already struggling to make ends meet).

Boris Johnson's father has leaped to his son's defence, after BBC presenter Eddie Mair gave the mayor a rude awakening during a Sunday morning intervi...

The Mayor of London is a brand, one of the reasons that he is simply "Boris". One name and pop! we get the entire picture. And the picture is indeed writ large. Like something out of an international Dickens fantasy...

London Mayor Boris Johnson has admitted that he would like to be prime minister but insisted "it's not going to happen". The politician, 48, who ha...

Cuts in the provision of good quality, affordable ESOL are leaving the people most at risk for isolation without access to language training, which facilitates integration.

Boris Johnson has insisted that protecting school playing fields is vital for the health of young people today. The mayor of London said the policy...

Some people have excitedly speculated on the possibility of Johnson becoming PM one day. If he ever makes it to the highest office in the land, I suspect his old world charm will be rapidly evaporated by his instinctive and ruthless elitism. But by then, of course, it will be too late.

The biggest shame is not that Boris Johnson seems to have notched up the first broken promise of his second term, but that he is going to continue to fail millions of Londoners living in the private rented sector.

The BBC is "overwhelmingly biased to the Left" and should be run by a Conservative, Boris Johnson has said. Writing in his Daily Telegraph column o...

o, London went to the polls. Or rather it didn't, because: it was a bit parky out; it might have rained; we'd run out of milk; had to get to the shops; who could be arsed; it was the same old people; oh, was it on Thursday?

I can't say I'll give anything away for this one. But I thought it might be nice to ring in the results of the London Mayoral election (due anytime in the next twelve hours) with a caption competition. Those leaving the funniest comments below will win... kudos from me! So have at it...

Our final London elections poll shows Boris Johnson defeating Ken Livingstone in the run-off vote for Mayor.

Londoners should ask themselves whether they want a mayor who seeks to unite or divide? Whether we need a mayor who sticks up for London or for his cronies? And if we can trust a man who says one thing and then does the opposite.

Having spent the last 16 weeks on the campaign trail where I have watched the dominant BorKen show up close, I'm more sure than ever that we need new voices in UK politics and much more diversity of public leaders. We need politicians who are in touch, more willing to listen, less egotistical and not stifled by inflexible party lines. We need more women, more ethnic minorities and more people with different life and professional experiences. I hope that many of you choose to give your first vote to me.

I love cycling, yes even in London... I grew up in Germany and I rode my first two-wheeler bike without stabilisers before my third birthday. The main reason I started cycling in London was because I kept running out of money for the bus.

London needs a Mayor who takes the housing crisis seriously. A Mayor who responds to desperate times with creative solutions. A Mayor who doesn't put the interests of profiteering landlords before the needs of the millions who are overburdened with housing costs.

At its launch last July, Boris Johnson claimed that his flagship mentoring programme meant more to him "than anything else we do in City Hall." Boris' relentless enthusiasm for the project is puzzling in the context of a GLA report in March, which concluded that the mentoring programme had "not met its delivery targets".

Both Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson have pulled out of a BBC mayoral debate in protest at being asked to share a platform with the British National...
