Details
Tim reports on the impact on the capital of decisions made at Westminster, issues affecting its 33 local authorities, and the activities of the mayor.
As a close observer of City Hall for several years, he revealed the existence of Ken Livingstone's extended family, his secret trip to Cuba and various episodes in the controversy over Lee Jasper and public grants from the London Development Agency.
He revealed the questionable past of Boris Johnson's deputy-mayor Ray Lewis, which led to his resignation, uncovered the 'sweetheart' deal which gave Barclays sponsorship of the 'Boris Bikes', and recently exposed misleading claims about City hall's flagship anti-crime project.
Tim reported extensively on the Baby Peter case, uncovering the errors made by the police and health services, which raised questions about the treatment of Sharon Shoesmith - who was subsequently vindicated in the Court of Appeal. His investigations have shown how Great Ormond Street Hospital avoided blame over the tragedy.
