Ken Livingstone On Tim Parker

He declares:

"The appointment of Tim Parker as first deputy Mayor shows clearly the path of decline of London represented by Boris Johnson’s administration. Mr Parker’s record as a downsizing cost-cutter is the exact reverse of the management of large-scale investment projects London requires. His record of brutality and heartlessness towards workers in his own companies is totally unsuitable for dealing with the complex communities of London. With this appointment Boris Johnson admits his inability to run London and simultaneously his inability to chose anyone suitable to do so."

He hasn't ruled out running again, by the way. I've asked.
