London is a fantastic creator of jobs - but many of these jobs are going to people who don't originate in this country.

The job of mayor of London is unbelievably taxing, particularly in the run-up to the Olympics.

If you take a guy like a Barack Obama, who's raised millions of dollars from the most donors in the history of this nation, it suggests that there's a deep and profound hunger for a new politics to come forth.
