Sherlock Strikes Back

Neil Sherlock has spoken. Readers will remember TS noting that Neil, a head regulatory honcho at KPMG, had run against Boris Johnson in the 1980s for the presidency of the Oxford Union. Neil won. Tim Hames, the Times writer, mentioned the battle in his column, adding in relation to Sherlock's current role: 'How the mighty are fallen.'

Sherlock has issued a retort: '[Tim] is a very amusing man. Perhaps he was merely implying that being a partner doesn't quite hit the public highlights of running for mayor.'

Neil has close ties with the Lib Dems, having been a parliamentary candidate in the 1990s and worked with the last three leaders on speeches, among other things.

Would he run for Mayor? 'I can resist all those sorts of offers. There's plenty to do in the exciting world of accounting regulation.'
