There's a piece in today's Private Eye about the Queen's Market development which ends: "At Newham's own planning meeting, the scheme's supporters openly boasted that Simon Milton, Boris's right-hand man and head of planning, intended to approve the plans. Despite all this gun-jumping, it is still in the mayor's power to turn down the scheme and keep his promises. Only one question remains: will Boris do the right thing? Find out next week..."
Ah, well. Newham is run by a rotten Labour shower, rather than the nice Tories. See what happens if say K&C or Wandsworth propose developments that close small outfits. I may be wrong, but Gilligan will be silent on such matters.
Not just that, but Peaches Geldof - who really cannot write, her stuff is barely legible even after subbing. Looks like they've lost one potential new reader for good.

Maybe he's being held on a leash while the relaunch is going on. He'll be back to his usual bollocks before long.
It's amazing what a threat to your job and a decent editor can do.
What Newham Council is doing to Queens Market is appalling. Big Business wins again.
Plus today the Olympic Village has been taken into public ownership.....
No news yet on Boris's decision about Queen's market. Something tells me he may just surprise us on this one though.
And I was right. Could Gilligan have known that Boris would save the day before he wrote his almost-criticism of him? Surely not.

End of the first week of the *sorry* standard. Is it just me or has it actually got worse?
Well I have to say that this doesn't look especially promising. Who are these people and why should I care?
