Anybody interested in a post with TFL as an advisor? You will be required to work for 90 days per annum at £730k or £8,100 a day? If you are interested please ask The mayor Cuddly Ken Livingston, how soon this post will become available, apply soon as possible as there will possibly be many applicants.

JustinOf course he needs all our sympathy for the trauma that he has undergone, I am not in the least surprised, that he is alleged to have turned to drink, my heart goes out to him.But having said that, he stated on ITV news, that he was under contract until 2008 as an advisor, and went on to say that he would continue to live in his rent free house, plus his £737,000 salary (who can blame him?) He also told the reporter, when asked, that he did not do very much for it! I stand to be corrected, but I believe that he got a lump sum "pay off" from his full time position, and was then taken on as an advisor! This after all is paid for by us the taxpayers. Does anyone think it's acceptable?

There was a very interesting interview in the Standard last night with Bob Kiley in which he was quite open about his alcoholism and told about the tragic circumstances in which his first family was wiped out. According to him the money he is currently paid is effectively severance pay.I don't think that there is any doubt that his package was a sign of the profligacy and incompetence that currently reigns at TfL but there is no denying Bob Kiley is quite an extraordinary man.
