politics.co.uk podcast: On the campaign trail with Ken

By

We've been talking with Ken Livingstone as he seeks re-election to City Hall.

Labour's candidate was in talkative mood as Ian Dunt followed him around the deprived fringes of Kensington and Fulham on one especially rainy morning in April.

Ken talks about the role of personality in the campaign, his relationship with the Labour party and why he wants to put money back in the pockets of ordinary Londoners. And Alex Stevenson talks to Rick Muir, of the centre-left Institute for Public Policy Research thinktank, about Ken and the 2012 London mayoral campaign.
