The outspoken Labour activist made the outspoken statement about the current Mayor in an exclusive interview with the Brent & Kilburn Times this week.

The Cricklewood resident also claimed Mr Johnson, who is stepping down next month, has done nothing for London except ‘promote himself’.

He made the scathing remarks in an interview with the Brent & Kilburn Times to talk about his new book ‘Being Red: A Politics for the Future by Ken Livingstone’.

The full interview will be in this week’s newspaper which is out on Thursday.
