Boris breaks election promise. Shock.

This was in yesterday's Standard:

Boris Johnson breaks his pledge to run Tube trains later at weekends

Followers of London politics will know it's not the first manifesto pledge that Boris has brazenly broken.

All of which begs the question, are the Tories right to point to Boris as an example of what a Conservative government might look like? Boris picked up a lot anti-Ken votes in the last mayoral election (see earlier post on Mr Waugh's piece)

How many of those are satisfied with him to date? I know several people who would normally vote Labour who couldn't bring themselves to vote Ken and decided to vote Boris for change. They now hugely regret that decision.

Will that impact on the Tory chances in the General election? Looking across London, I only see them taking one extra London borough (Sutton, since you ask). So I think they've reached a watermark there.

Will Boris help or hinder them with floating voters?
