An email from Vince Cable has popped into my inbox to tell me that former Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Brian Paddick has been selected by party members in London to be the Liberal Democrat candidate for Mayor.

Congratulations to Brian on his selection.

You can sign up for news from his campaign at www.brianpaddick.org.

Update: Here’s the BBC story and the announcement on the party website.
