How London Politics works

Boris was against Ken Livingstone closing ticket offices before, but is in favour of himself closing ticket offices now.

Ken was in favour of himself closing ticket offices before, but is against Boris Johnson closing ticket offices now.

Similarly Boris was in favour of the unions protesting against Ken’s ticket office closures before, but is against the unions protesting against his own ticket office closures now.

Meanwhile, the Lib Dems were against the ticket office closures before, but are in favour of the new government making the cuts, and forcing the ticket office closures now*.

*whilst still opposing those same ticket office closures.

And that in short is how London politics works.
