Boris Johnson breaks another election promise

From Beth Lister on Comment is Free comes news of another example of Boris Johnson making election promises and then breaking them.

These centres provide long-term counselling and specialist care to women who have been affected by sexual violence. Having previously promised to spend £744,000, financed by a 20% cut in the mayor’s media and marketing team, Johnson now promises just £233,000.
