Adonis for Mayor?

Speaking at the London policy conference today, Lord Adonis appeared to throw his hat into the ring for a future run as London Mayor. Top London blogger Adam Bienkov reports:

 

@AdamBienkov – Lord Adonis tells #lonconf “I would love to be Mayor.” Says he would do much better than “mediocre” job being done at the moment

That might imply a 2016 run if Ken Livingstone is unsuccessful next year, or perhaps even as Livingstone’s successor if he wins and chooses to serve only one further term.
