I know he's standing in mayoral elections rather than national ones but given the difficulties the government have found themselves in over the last couple of months I can't help but think Boris has missed an opportunity here. None of those problems can be laid at Livingstone's door obviously but a well run campaign should be able to suggest parallels between Labour's national problems and the London issues Boris intends to campaign on. The parallels may not be there of course but since when has that sort of detail mattered to campaigning politicians?
He needn't have been a key player in the Conservative's attack over recent months but I just find it strange that he doesn't even appear to have been on the bench. I guess supporters will be hoping that he's cosseted away with a crack team of advisers getting ready to launch himself on London in the early spring...

Or perhaps with a team of 'crack' advisers....
It's the Christmas whirl of parties, Cassilis and Bob.
He is guarding against over exposure with supernatural strategic instinct. I have always loved his bits but i remeber someone commenting " Boris is like Father Christmas , we all pretend to belive in him but no-one really does "
