Tonight on BBC London. Is Boris Johnson heading back to Parliament?

:00:06.:00:09.

David Cameron says they've already talked about it. I think he has

David Cameron says they've already huge contribution to make. When

Boris wants to, he will get a warm welcome. We ask Londoners if they

Manchester. He always makes an impact on a conference. Many think

:01:35.:01:40.

he overshadows some aspects of the conference. But what is different

:01:40.:01:44.

this year is this attention appears to have happened with the blessing

:01:44.:01:49.

of the party's leadership. It seems quite agreeable to them, and some

:01:49.:01:54.

believe he may have helped create the attention this time. This was

:01:54.:01:59.

the chance to tell his party what a good job a Tory Mayor has been doing

:01:59.:02:04.

for the capital. But one thing was jarring badly — housing. Average

:02:04.:02:14.

earnings, and so two suggestions. I companies to make tax—free loans to

:02:14.:02:19.

their employees to help them with the cost of their rent deposit. Can

:02:19.:02:24.

I also ask my friend the Chancellor to look at the baleful effects of

:02:24.:02:31.

stamp duty in London? It is called stamp duty for a reason, because it

:02:31.:02:35.

is stamping on the fingers of those who are trying to climb the property

:02:35.:02:40.

ladder. What he wants is control of stamp duty transferred to him. It

:02:40.:02:45.

was all relevant, says his critics. He should focus on the job he's

:02:45.:02:51.

was all relevant, says his critics. He has a job with a budget of over

:02:51.:02:56.

£12 billion, and he is doing nothing substantial to deliver for Londoners

:02:56.:02:59.

on addressing the cost of living crisis, for example, we are seeing

:02:59.:03:03.

for his next job. Something else has an above inflation busting fare

outbreak of love and respect. Thank been staring here. Some see it as an

:03:15.:03:24.

outbreak of love and respect. Thank you to David and George. I shared

:03:24.:03:26.

the optimism and excitement of speculation was about his future

:03:26.:03:33.

ambitions. He refused to roll out returning to Parliament whilst still

:03:33.:03:34.

Mayor. Now his leader is saying returning to Parliament whilst still

:03:34.:03:41.

would positively welcome that idea. When Boris wants to, he would get a

:03:41.:03:48.

warm welcome from me. Some are saying David Cameron is taking

:03:48.:03:52.

control of the Boris story. That whatever decision you do make about

:03:52.:03:57.

your future will be his decision, not yours. That is terrific news.

:03:57.:04:04.

Why? There is no such story. For now, there is no harmony, but who

:04:04.:04:10.

knows where this goes next? So there it is. The question raised again

:04:10.:04:15.

about whether, despite having one job and being mandated for four

:04:15.:04:21.

gears until 2016 to do that job representing Londoners, he may well

:04:21.:04:25.

be considering going off and getting acceptable? My colleague has been

:04:25.:04:33.

One of the Mayor's crowded hosts is transport. — proudest hosts. But can

:04:33.:04:44.

he get into ten Downing Street? transport. — proudest hosts. But can

:04:44.:04:49.

he does, this will have to be his first stop — the House of Commons.

:04:49.:04:56.

He has promised to complete his mandate for London, but he faces a

:04:56.:05:01.

dilemma — can he be Mayor of London and MP for London at the same time?

:05:01.:05:04.

thought. A lot of people do two and MP for London at the same time?

:05:04.:05:11.

in this day and age. Most people can. He is an intelligent man. I

:05:11.:05:17.

think he needs to concentrate on the bikes and his job as Mayor. I think

:05:17.:05:23.

he will be spreading himself to thing. Boris Johnson certainly

:05:24.:05:28.

the former French Prime Minister, thing. Boris Johnson certainly

:05:28.:05:44.

the former French Prime Minister, who is now the Mayor of Bordeaux. He

may have been the Mayor of Bordeaux when he was Prime Minister. That is

magazine and Henley MP at the same when he was Prime Minister. That is

:05:48.:06:00.

magazine and Henley MP at the same time. Boris has to show that he

:06:00.:06:04.

keeps his promises for all the wonderful chaos in his life, that he

:06:04.:06:08.

is a man of his word. Serving those two terms as Mayor of London will

:06:08.:06:14.

prove that. Others have been here before. Ken Livingstone was MP and

:06:14.:06:20.

Mayor for a year in 2000. It was very difficult. It was impossible

:06:20.:06:22.

for me because I was setting it very difficult. It was impossible

:06:22.:06:26.

from scratch. It is most probably just about possible if you are

:06:26.:06:30.

really hard—working and dedicated, and no one can accuse Boris of

:06:31.:06:36.

that. Much like buses, Boris Johnson has waited for one job, now for

:06:36.:06:43.

that. Much like buses, Boris Johnson to come along at once. Can he do

:06:43.:06:44.

justice for his own ambitions in Parliament whilst also serving

:06:44.:06:53.

That is a good question. Will this actually happen? One of the problems

:06:53.:06:58.

with that question for the party, for the Conservative Party, has

:06:58.:07:01.

with that question for the party, that Boris Johnson just doesn't

:07:01.:07:05.

answer it. He has prolonged the agony. The toxicity has been reduced

:07:05.:07:09.

a little bit because it had more power and effect when there were

:07:09.:07:15.

Cameron's leadership. In the last David Cameron himself appears to

have embraced this, gone along with this, and said that he is welcome

back. Understandably, speculation has gone into overdrive. If it were

:07:28.:07:31.

to happen, how would it impact on Londoners? Well, he has one big

:07:31.:07:36.

problem he has to overcome — he Londoners? Well, he has one big

reaction has there been to this investigated him said his actions

The council leader who took over from him said that many people had

:09:43.:09:48.

expressed shock and sadness about what had happened to him. He had

That clearly wasn't the case. Derek Osborne will now be assessed. He was
