Will tonight’s Newsnight debate change anything?

The first televised debate in the London Mayoral contest takes place on Newsnight on BBC2 later tonight and could be a significant occasion – especially as the questions will be put by Jeremy Paxman.

The veteran Newsnight host has become something of a legend and all three of the contenders can expect a tough time from him and their fellow candidates.

This could be quite an occasion and there’s always the possibility that something could happen that could change the race.

If previous events are anything to go by then we might see a lot of betting activity.
