abstract:Ian Clement (born 1965 in Bexley), was Deputy Mayor of London with responsibility for Government and External Relations. A former councillor and Leader of the London Borough of Bexley from 2006 to 2008, Clement was a member of the Conservative Party before being suspended following incidents involving financial issues both in London and Bexley.
The director Roger Donaldson and the veteran writing team of Dick Clement and Ian La Fresnais have mixed these real-world events together with speculation and what feels like the party gossip of many decades.
