I think it's much more important to keep people in work than have pay rises.
Ken Livingstone
Image
I have no interest in managing my financial affairs.
Ken Livingstone

I loathe and detest all this trivialisation of politics.
Ken Livingstone
Image
When you get into politics, you find that all your worst nightmares about it turn out to be true, and the people who are attracted to large concentrations of power are precisely the ones who should be kept as far away from it as possible.
Ken Livingstone
Image
My view is rather than just rage at your impotence you find the best way of achieving as much as you can within whatever constraints there are. It's not the world I would have created but you do what you can within it.

[Pigeons are] rats with wings.
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
Image
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
Image
Racism serves as the cutting edge of the most reactionary movements. An ideology that starts by declaring one human being inferior to another is the slope whose end is at Auschwitz.
Ken Livingstone
Image
I'm in exactly the same position as everybody else who has a small business.
Ken Livingstone
Image
Global warming could be solved by shifting three to four per cent of global GDP to pay for it.
Ken Livingstone
Image
All the politics of the post-war period was about the clash between the Soviet Union and America, and virtually all issues ended up being subordinated to that. Now, the question is, what is the most a socialist can achieve in a global economy?
