Andrew Hosken
NO book is more eagerly awaited in all campaign camps than Ken: The Rise And Fall Of Ken Livingstone. Today programme reporter Andrew Hosken had hours of interviews with the Mayor, but his book is said to pull no punches. However, is his title a tad bold in predicting the Mayor's demise? The journalist is hedging his bets - the alternative title is The Ups And Downs Of Ken Livingstone and no decision has been made yet on which will be printed.
CAMPAIGN CAPERS
A RAP "tribute" to Ken Livingstone has been sold on eBay - for the grand total of £2. The 1984 vinyl recording of the Livingstone Rap attracted just one bidder, wingedeel, who will receive "a tribute to our Magnificent London Mayor, King of the Congestion Charge, reputed Murderer of Trafalgar Square Pigeons, accused of being an insulter of Jews, gays and lesbians and current champion of the 2012 London Olympics". Created by "The Law Lords International" when Mr Livingstone was Red Ken the record also features the Livingstone Dub.
