More quotes by Ken Livingstone
I don't just denounce suicide bombers. I denounce those governments which use indiscriminate slaughter to advance their foreign policy.
Ken Livingstone
The market is a brilliant system for the exchange of goods and services, but it doesn't protect the environment unless it's regulated, it doesn't train your workforce unless it's regulated, and it doesn't give you the long-term investment you want.
Ken Livingstone
Everyone changes all the time.
Ken Livingstone
I mean I get loads of money, all from different sources. You give it to your accountant. They manage it. But you pay corporation tax. If you're then taking it out and spending it on yourself, you have to pay more.
Ken Livingstone
When I was leader of the GLC, by the time I had been in control for three years, the difference in pay between the cleaner and the director general was a four-to-one ratio. I find that attractive.
Ken Livingstone

Ken Livingstone
You lose power in Britain and you are just Joe Public again.

I've always told the truth. I've often been wrong - but I've never knowingly lied. Not in public life. Because I don't see the need to.
Ken Livingstone
I would like to sound like James Mason. I reckon if I'd had a better voice I could have been prime minister. It is the most irritating voice in public life.
Ken Livingstone
I loathe and detest all this trivialisation of politics.
Ken Livingstone
I refuse not to have a sense of humour.
Ken Livingstone
[Pigeons are] rats with wings.
Ken Livingstone
There is now a desperate need for a London-wide left caucus of those interested in the GLC and local councils so that we can compare and discuss what is happening in each borough.
Ken Livingstone
I go all around London advocating lesbian and gay rights.
Ken Livingstone
One thing that Chairman Mao did was to end the appalling foot binding of women. That alone justifies the Mao Tse-tung era.
Ken Livingstone
I have no interest in managing my financial affairs.
Ken Livingstone
I take a much more pragmatic view than many people on the Left about working with Neil Kinnock. Kinnock represents the best vehicle possible for achieving socialism now.
Ken Livingstone
I've always been a workaholic. I reckon, on average, I've had less than one day a year off in my working career.
Ken Livingstone
To tackle climate change you don't have to reduce your quality of life, but you do have to change the way you live
