THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH: Boris Johnson will launch a Conservative revolution in London this week, introducing a series of reforms as a test-bed for a future Tory government.
The new Mayor, who defeated Labour's Ken Livingstone, will within days pour more police on to the capital's crime-hit streets, and plans to introduce hand-held weapon scanners and knife-detecting "arches" at Tube and railway stations.
He will also move to slash immediately wasteful spending and bureaucracy and order a review of the capital's controversial congestion charge.
The swift initiatives are designed to make London a powerhouse of Tory ideas, with Mr Johnson's administration – the first chance the Tories have had to wield real political power for 16 years – used by David Cameron and his team as the proving ground for a move into government.

Le résultat est tombé tard vendredi: les Londoniens ont retiré leur confiance au maire sortant Ken Livingstone pour lui préférer l'impétueux Boris Johnson >>> Par Matthieu Verrier | Samedi 03 Mai 2008
