More On Munira Mirza

News of her appointment is now on the GLA site. Her formal title is Director of Policy, Arts, Culture and the Creative Industries and we are told that she, "Will lead on the construction and implementation of policy for Arts, Culture and the Creative Industries on behalf of the Mayor and represent the Mayor in engaging with stakeholders to ensure his manifesto commitments are met." But what were those manifesto commitments? I remember a promise during the Sky/LBC debate to retain the big festivals, but I can't find anything written down here.

You might be interested to note that the Manifesto Club, which is one of the 'front' organisations for the network of ex- Revolutionary Communist Party members in which leading lights are Frank Furedi, Mick Hume, Claire Fox and others, boasts Munira Mirza as a founding member. One of the most amusing things about this is that the current front page of their site has a rant on the tube. A banana skin in the offing for Boris? [see http://www.manifestoclub.com/mcsupports]
