Good news from Hodges HQ

Our campaign for mayor has registered at number seven on the Londonelectsyou website after only 24 hours online and I am currently featured as candidate of the day.

Don’t forget you can still contribute as we have a few days before we announce our full manifesto. Elsewhere Wednesday’s Evening Standard featured our wind-up toy race outside City Hall last week and the LondonPaper chose to publish a picture of me looking remarkably fat and bumptious. Thanks for that.
