At last Boris confirms what we knew all along:

“I haven’t got any seat lined up but I might as well be absolutely clear, in all probability I will try to find somehwere to stand in 2015. It is highly likely that I will be unsuccessful in that venture, you should never underestminate the possibility of these things going badly wrong, but I will try that. One thing is absolutely clear, I will serve out my mandate here in London.”

Happy holidays, Prime Minister…

UPDATE:

Great news that Boris plans to stand at next year's general election – I've always said I want my star players on the pitch.
