[Controversial former Mayor of London
Ken Livingstone, who earned the nickname
'Red Ken' for his left-wing politics,
has been diagnosed with
Alzheimer's disease aged 78.
The one-time figurehead of the Labour left,
who ran the capital from 2000 until 2008
when he was defeated by Boris Johnson,
is being 'well cared for by his
family and friends' as he retires
from public life.
The news comes after other high-profile
figures such as journalists Alastair Stewart
and Fiona Phillips decided to share their
own battles with the disease.]
Not good news for old Ken.
