Ken Livingstone: distancing himself from Labour

Labour? I’ve always been an independent, says Ken

Paul Waugh, Deputy Political Editor
23.04.08

Ken Livingstone distanced himself from the Government today by declaring that he was still an “independent” candidate for Mayor.

Speaking at the launch of his bus manifesto, Mr Livingstone was asked whether Labour’s poor polling nationally was undermining his re-election bid.

“It doesn’t matter what party label I wear, I’ve always been an independent,” he said. “When I came back into the Labour Party, the deal I did with Tony Blair was ‘you give me the money and I will spend it in a way that I think is right for London – without the Government telling me how to do it’.”

Mr Livingstone added that even when he was a Labour MP, the party’s whips in Parliament knew that he would operate differently from the party line.

With Labour on about 28 per cent nationally in some polls, the Mayor’s rating of 37 per cent is seen by his allies as evidence that he can outperform the party by keeping his distance.

Several Cabinet ministers have campaigned with Mr Livingstone in recent days, but some in his camp believe that the Government’s performance is holding him back. Mr Livingstone won the mayoralty in 2000 as an independent but was brought back into the fold ahead of his re-election in 2004.

He unveiled his bus manifesto with a fresh attack on Boris Johnson’s “farcical” plans to dump bendy buses. Mr Livingstone said the choice between his policies and those of his Tory rival was one of the starkest facing voters on 1 May. He said that the increase in bus use to six million journeys a day was one of his biggest successes. Mr Livingstone added that over the past eight years the total had gone up by almost two million journeys a day.

The manifesto sets out plans for “London’s second bus transformation” by making them easier to use and greener.

Key pledges are:

• To increase services and improve reliability.

• Introduce accurate second-by-second GPS bus journey information, both on buses and at bus-stops.

• Investing in a new fleet of clean, green hybrid buses.

• Improving driving standards and vehicle cleanliness.

• Holding down fares.

Mr Livingstone said his policies “compare starkly with the chaos and uncosted incompetence of Boris Johnson’s flagship policy of introducing “replacement Routemasters with conductors”.
