Washing Ken's dirty linen

It was extraordinary to have the prime 15 minutes of Today turned over exclusively to examining Ken Livingstone's dirty laundry. You can listen to it here.

In fairness, I thought Ken did pretty well, particularly in avoiding sounding defensive - which is the mistake made by many politicians.

We did however, appear to be entering the realms of a novella when discussing the trip to Nigeria made by Lee Jasper's business manager:

"Did Lee Jasper know about this trip?" ask James Naughtie.

"Oh, I broke the news to him. I saw his face. He was devastated." - said Ken.

Yeah. Yeah.
