Livingstone laments Johnson’s “shambles”

From @LabourList

This week’s New Statesman has an article by Ken Livingstone, in which he talks about the shambles of the first 13 months of Boris Johnson’s London mayoralty.

Ken says:

“The succession of enforced resignations contrasts very sharply with the previous eight years, in which there was only one resignation at a comparable level. The turmoil at the top is merely a symptom of the problem. London is a great international city, and to sustain that position it requires huge investment on all levels as well as clear policy, to ensure that it is able to function successfully. Boris Johnson’s administration has no policy to meet this challenge. It is backward-looking and committed to small, shrunken government. Thus it cannot and will not address London’s biggest issues. As a result, it is in a perpetually disorganised state.”

It’s well worth reading the article in full.
