I don't think Ken Livingston had anything near the scandals that have been hitting Labour (Cash for Honors etc). Most of the charges have been small and not really substantial. I don't see many enquiries taking place into them, as for revelations we can never be sure but I don't see many of those coming.
Personally a lot of people see Ken as arrogant and very left-wing but as Mayor he was very good at distancing himself from them when he had to make polices. He really did do what he thought was good for London and as I think I have made clear, I think he was successful.
