Letter: Briefly

Stephen Castle has got it wrong. According to his article (4 May), "The mood of the nation has not been to back Old Labour or even Kinnock Labour, so they're hardly going to be embracing Ken Livingstone". In fact, Ken Livingstone was returned with a majority of 15,882, showing a 14.4 per cent swing, on top of the 6 per cent swing of 1992 - hardly unpopular!
