livingstone.jpgKen Livingstone talks to Tim Castle about standing for a third term as Mayor of London.

He dismisses a recent YouGov poll that shows him trailing Conservative rival Boris Johnson and says his rival candidates are all “Ken Lites” who have moved their policies closer to his.

He says questions about his age or suggestions that he has been in the post too long are “ephemera” designed to avoid the real issues in the campaign.
