So now a real comedian, Alan Davies, has hit out at a part-time aspirant comedian, Boris Johnson, over the London Mayor's extraordinary transport fare hikes, first reported here a few weeks ago. The eagle-eyed Paul Waugh of the London Evening Standard has highlighted Davies's outraged online messages, in which he calls Johnson a "fraud".Could the tide be turning against this most populist of politicians? Certainly, the Government hopes so. As I exclusively reported on NS.com last month (and you can see full details of the Tube fare increases there), Labour party strategists are determined to step up scrutiny of the Mayor and portray his actions in London as a blue-print for Tory priorities.
