Labour Party Conference: Ken Livingstone speech

Labour Party Conference: Ken Livingstone speech; Ken Livingstone speech SOT - Johnson has squeezed passengers, a single bus fare and a weekly bus and tram pass are up by a third in just two year / I promise fares under my administration will always be lower than they would have been if Johnson gets another turn / on new Labour councillors being elected - we now run a majority of the councils in London / London played its part in stopping Cameron getting a majority / examples of Labour councillors / Londoners saw Labour invest in London and the Tories just run it down / on Labour achievements in London - extra police officers, transport investment programme and Crossrail, winning Olympic Games bid / under Johnson, police numbers already being cut / Johnson won't guarantee to keep neighbourhood police teams and has broken his promise on tube ticket opening hours and cancelled new transport projects like the Croydon tram extension / Johnson's own transport adviser told a fringe meeting the bus subsidy in London was to be cut by 40% / I know it's true because I read it in my favourite paper, the Evening Standard [holds up copy of the Evening Standard newspaper] / on bus subsidies - if you drive a bus in London you deserve to be paid a decent wage because it isn't easy / Johnson's transport adviser said it was right and necessary, a 40% cut in our transport subsidy / don't let Johnson tell us the cuts aren't his fault, he campaigned for the Tories to win the election, knew what would happen to spending on services and jobs / I'm issuing Johnson a challenge - Boris, you're telling Londoners to get on their bikes because of the tube strikes when you should be meeting the tube unions to sort the issue out
