If Labour is to have a hope of ousting Johnson, it is going to need a big name. Ideally it would like someone with the politics of Polly Toynbee and the public profile of Jeremy Clarkson. That's why, in the absence of a politician, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the following names were floated in Labour circles over the coming months - Ross Kemp, Arsene Wenger, Ian Blair, Alistair Campbell, Andrew Marr, Cherie Booth, Shami Chakrabarti. Other suggestions welcome.Labour are doomed.
Update: In the comments 'Killing Time' comes up with:
Diane Abbott would do it for me. Principled, cool and foxy too.

Ian Blair? Fine chap. Fine chap. 7/7 victims will love him.
Yes as will the De Menezes family.
Especially after Gordon B, the name 'Blair' will no doubt conjure up fond memories among much of the Labour root-and-branch membership...
I have heard that Stephen Fry is also being looked at as a potential recruit for Labour, though not necessarily for the London Mayoralty.
Stephen Fry is more likable than most Labour luvvies.
