Will Bailey be the new Ray Lewis?

Rumours abound that the Mayor of London is looking to appoint Shaun Bailey, Tory candidate for Hammersmith, as his new deputy mayor to replace the disgraced Ray Lewis.

No doubt the Mayor will scrutinise potential replacements much more closely than when Lewis was appointed.

Bailey has made appearances in the media talking about youth crime, based on his work for a charity called MyGeneration and a pamphlet for the Centre for Policy Studies.
