Ken Livingstone yesterday offered to give his Tory rival a job and train him as a future mayoral candidate, in an extraordinary last-minute bid for Tory votes.
Oh for fuck's sake. It doesn't matter that Boris would be unlikely to take up such an offer, it's that Ken made it. What on earth for? Does he seriously think there are Tory voters out there saying "you know, I'd like to vote for Livingstone but the only problem is that that would mean Johnson would lose", or would think "Hmmm, Livingstone in 2008, Johnson in 2012, yep, sounds fair to me"?
That's the problem when you're faced with a choice between the lesser of two evils, at the end of the day they are both still arseholes.
