At Mayor's Questions but not in uniform

Yesterday was Wear Your Uniform To Work Day for the TA.

I decided not to even though I am a passionate advocate that the forces should wear their uniform s in public more. The reason for this was we had the Mayor's Questions yesterday and didn't want to overshadow his report on the work of the Forensic Audit Panel headed by Patience Wheatcroft.

The report identified serious "failings in the London Development Agency’s (LDA) leadership, governance and basic controls". There were also criticisms of Mayoral Advisers micro managing elements of the LDA's work. I noticed Lee Jasper in the public gallery looking intently while Boris spoke about the report.

There will need to be some serious changes at the LDA, watch this space.

Coward!

I hope the rest of the TA are braver than you. We could have had military rule for the day!

The so Tory Audit Panel was a sham, a fraud. All the allegations were proven to be complete crap. Its was a Tory hatchet job on the LDA. Livingstone's adviser's were all acting within the rules and nothing untoward was found. The report has no credibility.
