Only a fool would insists that there is absolutely no correlation between religion and politics, and only a foolish politician in a democracy would purposely ignore or caricature a particular ethno-religious group to the extent that an entire constituency became alienated or offended by their words or actions. But this is precisely what Ken Livingstone did to London's Jews, and outgoing deputy...

I think a good way to appease the left wing in the labour party would be to appoint Livingstone to the cabinet. He would be good one.

So it's memoir season for the Blairites, which on the face of it shouldn't unduly bother Ken Livingstone, but his own departure will still be fresh in the mind and publishers’ advances must seem somewhat more enticing when the ink is only just dry on the P45 and the mortgage is still to be paid.

Chris Paul: Labour of Love (Free subscription) | 05/10/2008
Dave Osler has caught Ken Livingstone omitting to include "Comrades: Sisters and Brothers" in his future scoping for London and the country in Friday's Guardian . Very New Labour? Possibly. Perhaps just a soupcon of the post-industrial pragmatism required to get elected and maintain power and get things done. And he did of course score 20% more backing than New Labour. A comrade by the name...

Ken Livingstone won the London Mayoral election last week. Well, okay, he doesn't actually claim that in his Guardian article yesterday, but he comes pretty close: Nationally Labour’s vote fell by 2% compared to 2004, but in London the percentage of first preference votes I received in the mayoral election went up very fractionally. The [...]
