Dave Hill’s been determined to find out who’ll be in Boris’s team, if he becomes Mayor, for a long time, and today he reports that at last some others have begun asking the same thing.

He raises a point that someone e-mailed to me after I posted about Bob Diamond: Diamond and the subsequently named handful of others involved in administering his Mayor’s Fund (wherein Boris crosses his fingers and hopes businesses will give to needy groups so he doesn’t have to) are, as Dave says, "a side issue". (Apologies to the person who e-mailed me about this last week and hoped I’d blog about it then. Time got away from me – something to do with spending every spare moment for five days making a video, I suppose…)

The point here is that he hasn’t revealed anyone who’ll be doing any of the real, important work of the office of Mayor of London. One can only assume that his silence on this issue is because he simply hasn’t got anyone lined up. Who’d want to commit to working for someone of such widely renowned world-beating incompetence, who changes his mind more often than he combs his hair, and has no hands-on managerial experience at all?

I wouldn’t want to work for him, not that I imagine I’m about to get a job offer. (Except perhaps in advising a future campaign team on maintaining their anonymity more successfully.) Would you?
