Do you agree with The Residential Landlords Association (RLA) report that landlords are taking their flats off the open market and advertising them instead on holiday websites like Airbnb, leading to the RLA claims that the trend will mean fewer homes for rent, exacerbating the housing shortage and that rents could rise as a result, particularly in London?

Nottinghamshire police force has expanded it categories of hate crime to include misogynistic incidents. This includes incidents such as the harassment of women in the street to physical abuse. What these crimes have in common is that they are targeted at a woman simply because she is a woman. Does the Metropolitan Police have any plans to expand its categorisation of Hate Crime in a similar fashion? Do you, as Mayor, think that this policy is appropriate for or needed in London?
