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."

Ken Livingstone said: 'The dominant economic orthodoxy since Thatcher and Reagan has been smashed by the deepest economic crisis since 1929. The alternative traditional Keynesian methods may not be sufficient to meet this crisis. In order to find a way through, and protect the lives of the great majority who have no control over the forces shaping this situation, it is imperative to raise the level of debate to understand the real causes, likely consequences and what must be done to address the global crisis. This conference will be an opportunity to do just that.' |
