The two achievements he talks about are the bikes and the new routemaster.
Both were massively more expensive than claimed, and with the buses, they were a fucking pointless vanity project instead of just improving an existing bus design.

not arguing for a single second with you on that.
The idea that a man who masterminded the epic financial fraud/clusterfuck that was the GLC would be better, however, is the best bit of comedy I've heard in AGES. Thanks ;)

But he was better. His record in office is better than Boris'.
Under Boris fares have actually risen above inflation, under Kens they stayed about the same as inflation.

That has absolutely cock all to do with mayoral policy I suspect
and everything to do with the state of the economy and investment in projects.

I'm not defending Boris. I just think it's funny that anyone can defend Ken on economic or financial management grounds
