Well done Ken, god bless. Honesty is most important for most of us

[jaysongillham]

Lovely man. Good luck with your case Ken. You deserve to have the record put straight

[dave]

absolutely disgusting the way ken and many others have been treated

[annenunney]

Bless you Ken I would have love to see Jeremy become the Prime minister

[NoNo-xdrq]

Really enjoyed that, very good insight into the ruthlessness of politics. Perhaps there’s a better way to make a difference than entering politics. It’s too commercial now.

Chris Williamson and Ken have both been badly treated by the Labour Party. Hence why I've quit my membership.

Ken Livingstone is good man. In this current political atmosphere of poison and lies we need a new generation of decent people to confront the bigotry, hatred and fear voiced by the ignorant!

[rememberkronstadt]

By liberating Festival Hall alone he demonstrated how the people of London were 'entitled' to enjoy the spaces they pay for.

What's the lesson then? You can't be nice to win the election. We need to play the game and outmanoeuvre our opponents for the greater good. I hope the next generation will bring the change.

if Ken Livingstone was the leader of the labour party it would be a party worth considering to vote for, as things stand the best party to vote for is the reform party.

Heard he's got Alzheimer's now but luckily a cure has been made.

[garethjones]

Williamson and Livingstone peas in a pod...

[historicrecord]

He was the first and hopefully the last antisemitic Mayor of London
