May



The Evening Standard was the first with the news of Boris Johnson's victory - hours before the City Hall announcement

borisspecial
Our special night edition on Friday 2nd May, which hit the streets at 7pm, proclaimed Johnson Mayor after rival Brian Paddick conceded defeat and Labour minister Tessa Jowell hinted that Ken Livingstone had lost. Political analysts were informing the Standard that by 6pm Johnson had built up enough first preference votes to make it statistically impossible for Livingstone to win.

News organisations around the world led their bulletins on our report - and just before midnight it was official: Johnson was Mayor by a margin of six points - exactly as predicted in our YouGov poll the previous day. Our website, standard.co.uk led the way with reports from City Hall and full analysis within seconds of the official result.


Without the Standard, there would have been no paper to monitor and investigate (the Mayoral elections) and question week after week, and the Mayor would have smiled happily in an interrogation-free zone. Good thing, bad thing? You can argue till May Election Day whether the Gilligan treatment has been right or wrong. But you can't argue, for a second, that it hasn't been necessary.

Only Gilligan could have kept Ken on his toes
