Boris's man has to quit
The Conservatives were today reeling from the resignation of Boris Johnson's deputy amid allegations of inappropriate behaviour and financial irregularities.
Ray Lewis was forced to step down yesterday after the Mayor of London decided he could no longer back him after being misled over his role as a magistrate.
Labour suggested it raised questions not only for the mayor but for Conservative leader David Cameron.
Communities Secretary Hazel Blears MP said: "People across the country will note that after just two months, the new Tory administration in London is in complete disarray.
"David Cameron has known Ray Lewis since his first day as Tory leader."
On Thursday it emerged that the deputy mayor was facing multiple claims relating to his time as a priest and as founder of an academy for young people.
