As the Conservative leadership race enters its final hours, bookies’ favourite Liz Truss has further set out her stall for London. Writing in today’s Standard, the Foreign Secretary commits to supporting the capital’s economy, ending strike action on the Tube and combatting crime.

It is heartening that she recognises that the capital is the engine room of the UK economy, but that it also contains real pockets of poverty and disadvantage that need addressing too.
