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

I loathe and detest all this trivialisation of politics.
Ken Livingstone

Every year the international finance system kills more people than the Second World War. But at least Hitler was mad, you know.
Ken Livingstone
Image
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
Image
The people I really most admire are Robert Kennedy and Franklin Roosevelt. If you know someone, it is very hard to revere them.
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
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

Everyone changes all the time.

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 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
Image
I liked it when we had ugly politicians who droned on about issues.
Ken Livingstone
Image
I grew up in Lambeth, I went to normal schools and I've grown up in a city where people say what they think.
Ken Livingstone
Image
Well, on lots of small things we could have done better, but on all the big things we called it right. You should make less mistakes as you get older, and I became a councillor back in 1971, so if by this stage in politics I'm making lots of big mistakes, then I shouldn't be here.

To tackle climate change you don't have to reduce your quality of life, but you do have to change the way you live
