Season 3, Episode 4

On Inside City Hall this episode, London Assembly Members Neil Garratt and Emma Best discuss:


Waste of the Week (0:57): pub quiz question, how many Deputy Mayors does London have?

Conservative Budget Amendment (3:50): Police funding, police officers v staff, phone and bike theft, night life prosperity fund, pot hole fund, London investigation into child grooming,

Tech issues (18:02): For the biggest meeting of the year, none of the mics in City Hall's Chamber were working, and the live stream wasn't working. City Hall's lengthy saga of IT and tech problems.

People's Question Time (21:30): in Haringey. Thanks to the Mayor making the location secret, the public are staying away. Who would have guessed?

Rachel Reeves doesn't mention London (28:45): recalling last year's national Labour budget following the election, and the strains of the Labour Mayor Khan finding his new post-election place in the new Labour pecking order. Nationalised rail? Rent control? What will the Mayor's strategy be now he can no longer blame everything on the government?
