Ken Livingstone comments on new crisis in Boris Johnson regime

Tuesday, 23 June 2009 10:10

Commenting on the resignation of Boris Johnson's Deputy Mayor, Ian Clement, Ken Livingstone said:

"Ian Clement is the third of Boris Johnson's Deputy Mayors to be forced to quit, following Ray Lewis and Tim Parker, in only a little more than a year in office. Equally forced out have been Boris Johnson's deputy chief of staff James McGrath and his top Olympics advisor David Ross. This is by any reckoning a record of extraordinary managerial incompetence at the top of London government.

"It is a total contrast to my administration - which saw in eight years only a single resignation.

"Boris Johnson has brought in a regime beset by the serial loss of top leaders who have been forced to resign due to misconduct or driven from office by the incompetence of the new Mayor's Office."

three resignations in one year is beyond a joke, though in all honestly could we expect any more from boris who is a bit of a joke all round. Whats more is this joke in the current mayor's office will have serious implications for London's image abroad and damage the excellent work done by Ken and his administration in making London a worldclass city.
