The outspoken boss of Pimlico Plumbers Charlie Mullins has revealed plans to run for London Mayor, saying the role needs “a big character”.
Mullins, a self-made millionaire and OBE, said he had previously rejected the idea but decided to run because “my city of London, and its people, are being disgracefully neglected by the government, and it’s got to stop”.
He added: “My decision is not all about Brexit, but with the most powerful economic force in the country, generating billions of pounds in revenue, and paying for services all over the country, having its point of view ignored, I feel it’s time I did something about it.
“The Mayor of London is supposed to be a cheerleader for the city, and quite honestly I do not think that Sadiq Khan is the right man for the job.
