Point two, do I want to be Mayor of London?

It's a fascinating job.

Obviously, I worked with Boris for eight years whilst he was Mayor of London.

You can get stuff done.

I was born and brought up in London.

My constituency is less than...

is an hour's commute from Liverpool Street Station.

When London does well, the country does well, and we can feel it in Braintree.

And when London does badly, we can feel it in Braintree.

And London is underperforming.

And I know there's lots of misinformation and disinformation.

But that is something that needs to be addressed.

We are losing talent.

We are losing overseas investment.

Our reputation on the world stage is not as strong as it should be.

And you can be as frustrated by this as you like.

and I saw this as foreign secretary, the words UK, England, and London are often used as interchangeable terms on the world stage.

So if we want the UK as a nation to be on fire, in a positive way, I mean, like firing on all cylinders, London needs to work.

Okay, so you're running, okay.

No, it's not, no, look.
