Ed Miliband was out in Ealing with Ken Livingstone as the London Mayoral election enters its final days, and sought to contrast Ken’s pledges for London with the Tory Mayor’s record. Speaking to LabourList, Miliband said:

“Ken is campaigning to cut Londoner’s fares, put more police on the streets, to make fair rents happen and to bring back the educational maintenance allowance. People are understanding that Ken Livingstone is in touch with ordinary Londoners and is going to fight for them.”

“And Boris Johnson, what’s he been standing up for? He’s been standing up for a tax cut for millionaires. I think there is a clear choice in this election, Labour will make you better off, the Tories will make Londoners worse off.”

    Somehow I don’t think bringing Ed in will save Ken’s campaign…

    • Otware

      I disagree. Labour is outperforming Ken in national polls.

        Labour is but Milibands polling is lower than Camerons.

    According to Guido Fawkes, Labour won’t even use their candidate’s name on leaflets.  A nice pay back for Livingstone’s non-support of Labour in Tower Hamlets?

  • John P Reid

  • M Cannon

    I thought Mr Livingstone was also in favour of tax breaks, at least for former mayors?

    One Nation Conference? Not for poor Labour members

    By Bernadette Horton

    Full time Carers who care 35 hours + a week for a disabled or elderly relative receive the princely sum of £61.35pw for their efforts. Many carers like myself in reality care 24/7, 365 days a year. Already cut out of most activities like a meal out or a social evening with friends, our horizons under the Tory government have become narrower and narrower. As Labour Party members, many of us look to the party to get our voices heard, […]

    My visit to Israel and Palestine this week has strengthened my commitment to a two state solution

    By Ian Lucas

    Since Operation Protective Edge began in early July, at least 1,360 Palestinians have been killed, mostly civilians, and a quarter of Gaza’s population has been forced from their homes. Two Israeli civilians have lost their lives in rocket attacks, several hundred have been injured, and 56 Israeli soldiers have been killed. Today, the latest appalling loss of life is yet another tragic example of the death and destruction that has resulted from the escalation of this conflict. Of course this […]

    Grayling gives speech attacking Labour while his own department publish his failings

    You know that a Cabinet Minister’s speech has no positive message when the Tory Press Office Twitter account bothers to livetweet it.And that’s exactly what happened with Justice Secretary Chris Grayling’s attack on Labour spending plans this morning. No, we don’t they got him to do it either. The speech itself was standard fare: lots of attacks on trade unions dressed up as economic commentary. What was interesting was that while he was giving it, the Ministry of Justice released […]

    By Stephen Doughty

    For me, the debate about why Scotland should remain part of the United Kingdom is personal and emotive – but is also about hard facts. We are tied together by bonds of friendship, family and economy in so many ways. My family history – going back some 300 years – is Northern Irish, Scottish, English and Welsh. I was born and brought up in Wales by a Cumbrian mother and a Wiltshire father. I went to university in England, and […]

    Miliband’s greatest quality is that he’s willing to have a “bloody good think”, says Dobson

    By Conor Pope

    Last week, Frank Dobson announced his intention to stand down as MP for Holborn and St Pancras after 35 years. Today, The Guardian have a candid and, at times, touching interview with the former Health Secretary. In a wide-ranging conversation with Owen Jones, Dobson sounds optimistic about the current state of the Labour Party: he’s “very confident” Labour will win next year’s election and is pleased that the Party has avoided going “a bit 1979″. Ed Miliband has ensured that […]
