Says Boris, who is calling for Jasper's dismissal following today's Evening Standard story that he admits but denies previous knowledge of a £18,000 donation given by City Hall to one of his companies, Ethnic Mutual:
"Ken Livingstone has completely lost control of his inflated empire. For weeks, we have heard nothing but denials and contempt for those who have been trying to uncover the real goings on at City Hall. Lee Jasper has now admitted he knew of the loan back in October 2007 and yet the Mayor has been claiming Mr Jasper has no financial link to the companies in question.
Mr Jasper has either lied to the Mayor, or else the Mayor is deceiving Londoners. This charade cannot continue. It is now time for Ken Livingstone to sack Lee Jasper and allow a full and properly independent inquiry to go ahead so the full extent of the waste at City Hall can be exposed once and for all."
