What has Ken Livingstone done for London?

Ken Livingstone has been mayor of London since May 2000 when he beat the Labour candidate, Uncle Albert, and a Tory candidate famous for having a wife and several mistresses.

Since then he has built City Hall so that he now has a comfy office to sit in and his staff and the London Assembly members have a nice place to chat to each other.

Ken said he would get rid of the pigeons from Trafalgar Square but they are still there. And he has appeared on the BBC show Have I Got News For You to make fun of host Angus Deayton.
