I sat down with my wife recently and told her about my plans to run for Mayor of London and she asked one simple question: "why go do this, it is such a risk, such an uncertainty." It's a great question and I appreciate my wife for asking. And when I thought about it, I came to this conclusion: I can't not do this. This has been laid in front of me. You can talk the talk about how this city needs to change, or you can walk the walk. And I want to walk the walk. Having experienced the plethora of problems this great city is facing first hand, I knew I had to put myself in the arena. It is time to stop complaining about the many issues we face, and instead provide the solutions our city needs. Currently, we have a total lack of leadership, a disproportionate response to the virus and a complete lack of science-based decision making. Our city will never return to its former glory without a serious change of leadership which can London in a new direction. We need leadership which will provide the following: - Get London back to work - Put Londoners Health First - Implement a science-based approach - Ensure a bright future for our young people - Make London the greenest capital city in the world - Make London Safe - Fight for Digital Freedom of Speech However I can't do it alone. I will need the help of every citizen of this great city working together towards our common goal.

For 12 years, Greg was a prominent MP for Leeds North West and served as a Leeds City Councillor for Headingley. Earlier this year, as the pandemic loomed large, Greg took the initiative and created the Campaign for Pubs to offer grassroots support to Pubs and Publicans who were facing closure due to Government guidelines and restrictions. The introduction of laws by the government to the hospitality sector was the social distancing restrictions and the 10pm curfew has resulted in many pubs choosing to remain closed. However, the latest developments are of even greater concern as the government introduced a three-tier plan based on whether communities are deemed high, medium, or low risk. This has had a massive effect on northern cities like Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds who have all been hit with closures of their bars and pubs, while London remains open. Statistics released by the Public Health of England reveal that less than 5% of cases are through the hospitality sector, yet it is one of the hardest hit industries across the UK, something Greg has vocally fought against stating, "If the UK Government does enact the folly of mass closure of pubs when it knows that pubs aren't the problem, they will never be forgiven by those whose livelihoods, lives & communities they ruin." The campaign has backed the #NationalTimeOut rent-free period and 'No Pub No Rent' initiatives, while also highlighting the unique heritage and history that pubs provide and the vitality to the very fabric of our communities.

For the last two years, David has been helping run the company but unfortunately has faced his most difficult year yet, due to the devastation caused by this pandemic and the ensuing restrictions by the UK government. London is the heartbeat of Britain's tourism industry, and Big Bus Tours usually operate around 50 buses during a summer weekend. During the peak of the season in 2020, however, they had one bus operating and only a handful of passengers. David has constantly raised concerns about the lack of people on the streets of London during this time, as the city usually welcomes 20 million tourists each year. The reason behind this issue is that visitors have been put off coming to the UK because it has been hit harder by the pandemic than any other European country. This concern has led to David and 44 other bosses in the tourism industry to create an SOS London campaign. Launched at the London Eye, this is a plea for the government to Save Tourism, Organise Campaigns and Support the industry. Since July, David has been urging the government to take immediate action and to halt the collapse of the tourism industry in the capital.

As a wayward and errant youth, Peter was offered a lifeline at the age 16 which led to him joining the Metropolitan Police and gave some much needed direction to his aimless teenage years. From nicking thieves to being one of the first members of the force on the scene in what turned into the Brixton riots, Peter also spent the best part of his career risking life and limb to bring some of Europe's most serious criminals and gangsters to justice, foraging in the seedy underbelly of lawlessness by taking on the role of undercover agent at Scotland Yard. Posing as an international drug trafficker, weapons dealer, contract killer and everything in between, Peter's life was stranger than fiction. However, it all came crashing to an unceremonious halt, as an investigation unravelled leaving Peter's life in the balance. With no choice but to join the witness protection programme, Peter's chaotic routine was jolted once more, and the repercussions led to a mental breakdown that saw him admitted to a lock-in psychiatric ward. In the years that have since passed, Peter has gone on to write plays for BBC Radio 4 and served as the 'Chief' on Channel 4's hugely successful fugitive reality show 'Hunted'. Peter's latest book 'Manhunt' follows his quest to track down the notorious double-murder fugitive Kevin Parle, who has managed to elude law enforcement for over 16 years.
