What is the Greater London Authority?
The Greater London Authority (GLA) is London's top-tier local government body, led by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly. It oversees city wide issues like transport, policing and economic development. Cleverly's criticism of candidates who 'hate' the city, and his charge against Burnham, relate to how these leaders view and manage the GLA's responsibilities for London.
