Signatories of “Leaked letter from the Jewish Community to Ed Miliband” endorse Livingstone

Last month a letter to Ed Miliband from a number of Jewish Labour supporters which noted their concerns with Ken Livingstone was leaked, and received considerable media attention. Now signatories of that original letter have posted an open letter entitled “Who should Left wing Jews vote for in the contest for London mayor?”  which endorses Livingstone, saying:

With our eyes open and breathing deeply maybe with a sigh or two, the time has come to endorse Ken Livingstone for Mayor of London

The letter goes over some of their feelings (both positive and negative) towards Livingstone, but the choice in the election is summarised as:

Under Boris as Mayor, we will get a few laughs, but little service and not much engagement.
Under Ken as Mayor, we will get irritated, upset and annoyed but we will get lots of services and lots of engagement and an improved London.
The full letter can be read here.
