Governing London from the left
They called us the 'loony left' but we showed the world what was possible once socialists take power even over one city, from free transport and free festivals to recognising same-sex partnerships — we need that ambition once again, writes KEN LIVINGSTONE

The Labour leadership’s narrow definition of ‘working people’ leads to distorted and unjust Budget calculations, where the unearned income of the super-wealthy doesn’t factor in at all, argues JON TRICKETT MP
IT IS hard to believe that last year marked 20 years since I became mayor of London and that this year marks 40 years since the Labour left gained the leadership of the Greater London Council (GLC).
The Morning Star gave great support in both of these struggles and although the world — and British politics — are very different to 20, yet alone 40, years ago our socialist principles are still just as important in both understanding the key challenges facing us and developing policies that can tackle them — for the future of the planet and its population.
While looking at both experiences there are of course many things I would do differently and we certainly made mistakes, but I am still deeply proud of both periods of running London from the left. Additionally, where we could, we also sought to give a platform and support to communities and campaigns organising for a better society.
