On the election trail with Ken and co

By Cathy Newman

Updated on 24 April 2008

Cathy Newman follows Ken Livingstone, Boris Johnson and Brian Paddick as the London Mayoral election campaign enters its final week.

"I amaze myself going round talking up Ken because I used to think he was dreadful," Campbell said today as he and Tony Blair emerged as among Ken Livingstone's key advisors.

With a week to go, it's a battle between two men.

There is Brian Paddick of course, but it's really the Ken and Boris show, and as much about personalities as about politics.

The polls have them neck and neck, although as Livingstone revealed to Channel 4 News he's considering life after City Hall.

Cathy Newman has been following Messrs Livingstone, Johnson and Paddick on the campaign trail.
