Working with the Jewish community is essential to me and what I stand for. I do explicitly see Jewish people as a people - not either a religion or an ethnicity but a people. The Tories take Jewish London for granted. I will not.
Ken Livingstone
Image
I've always been a workaholic. I reckon, on average, I've had less than one day a year off in my working career.
