Keep your friends close , keep your enemies closer. If Ken gets a
cushy well paid job in the new administration he won't be firing
potshots from the sidelines which is probably the thinking behind it.
Even so , I'd be surprised if it really happened - cant see
conservative central office going for it and from what I've read
they've got Boris on a tight leash.

Indeed

Sensible of course.

Well wouldn't you if you were the Conservative party. We all know of his
gaffes and as mayor of London and a pretty orthodox Conservative (which
Ken LMivingstone isn't vis-à-vis the Labour party) a cock-up on his part
could cost the Conservatives dear nationally.

Bang on. Plus, it means that if the Boris administration does crash and
burn, they can take Ken with them. Even better, they might be able to use
him a scapegoat.

Anyway, i think i've found out what it is Ken'll be doing - he's
apparently on the website team, in charge of finding web pages:

I'm impressed that Boris has already replaced Ken on this page:
