If so, more of those 'Londoners for peace' events with Ken appearing with his arm round Tony Benn, Jeremy Corbyn et al should help. Ken was dead against the war from day one, so it would be silly for him to suffer because of the New Labour's foolishness (especially since Boris was fanatically supportive of it) Still there are however, other areas that Ken's campaign need to work on, like the worrying amount of LibDem support going to the Tories when they should be going Labour!!! How they're going to deal with that one, I don't have a clue. You could be right, Loz.

The question that we may not see an answer to until polling day is whether Ken has done enough work over the last few years to show that he is a Labour politician but not <i>that</i> kind of Labour supporter and thereby insulating him from the toxic effects of the Labour brand. The more he can persuade Government ministers not to talk about him the better.
