I will just share one or two of the lessons learned. One was that good, long-term leadership that could be trusted was really important. We had Ken Livingstone, then dear Boris, who originally I do not think quite knew where east London was. It took us a while to show him, but he then became enthusiastic, which was great. Then there was Sadiq Khan, who I think never really got the real detail of what some of us were doing. How do you handle all of that? More importantly, how do you get these siloed structures coming out of government to talk to each other? We really grappled with that.
