Instead, we need to look at the spatial distribution of inequalities and grievances—from the time Ken took on the mayoralty, through to the present and into the future under Boris’ leadership. This will help us understand why there was a difference in votes between inner and outer areas.

However, I have to admit that for at least the next two weeks, I’m unable to do much on this site. I have these things called exams…
