And on the final straight....its...

Boris with a mighty eight point lead — 54 to 46 according to a ComRes survey. The poll of 1,024 Londoners found 45% of voters would give Boris their first preference vote, compared with Labour on 36%, Green candidate Jenny Jones was in third place on 6%, while Lib-Dem Brian Paddick fell back to 5%. He is overwhelmingly the most popular candidate for second preference votes. Mr Watson, the deputy chairman of the Labour party, admitted that Labour voters tell him they are considering voting Tory because they either “like Boris Johnson” or “don’t like Ken”.

Tube Strike?

Mr Johnson said it was his opponent's "union cronies", including RMT leader Bob Crow, who are to blame. Mr Johnson's spokesman said: "Londoners are under no illusion that these needless strikes have been called by Ken Livingstone's union boss supporters as part of his strategy to be re-elected. "Having already promoted Bob Crow to the board of Transport for London once, this is (the) risk if Ken Livingstone returns to City Hall, his union cronies running London's transport."

Weather forecast this week.

It's going to rain everyday this week.

Who're you going to trust?

In a poll for The Evening Standard - one in four Londoners said they would most trust Mr Johnson to pay them back if they lent him money, while 18 per cent said Mr Paddick and 17 per cent said Mr Livingstone. The tax issue has still not gone away for Mr Livingstone as 39 per cent said he had not paid as much tax as he should.

Hose Pipe Ban?

We should have them more often - it's done wonders for rainfall. This way - who needs a hosepipe when it rains everyday - saves me having to water the garden anyway.

Oh no - it's falling apart.

Labour's Mayoral re-election campaign suffered a double blow today after Lord Sugar ruled out voting for Ken - while George Galloway offered his endorsement. Labour Lord Sugar, who has donated huge sums to the Labour party, slammed Mr Livingstone. “I don’t care if Ed Miliband is backing Livingstone. I seriously suggest NO ONE votes for Livingstone in the Mayoral elections,” he wrote. Meanwhile, MP George Galloway threw his weight behind the Labour candidate’s re-election bid. “He’s a friend of mine ..... insofar as I have influence in some communities in London I’m using it. I am already in East London.”
