Businessman Sir Alan Sugar has confessed he hasn't decided whether or not to stand for London mayor in 2012. Recent newspaper reports quoted Labour Party insiders saying they want The Apprentice star to be their next mayoral candidate. "One can never say never, but it is a long shot," he told radio host Vanessa Feltz. "It would be a massive challenge. One should never underestimate the knowledge that one needs to take on a thing like that and I've always been one of those people to say stick to what you know. I've been one of those people who walks into the office and says, 'This is what we are going to do'. But I don't think you can do that in politics and government. It is an interesting thought. Someone like me who tends to cut to the chase, so to speak, would be the right sort of person to look after a city like London."Alan Sugar for mayor?
