Madonna attacks London Mayor Livingstone

Madonna has criticised the Mayor of London Ken Livingstone for his running of the city's transport system.

The veteran popstar said that she wouldn't vote for the Labour Party candidate in the forthcoming mayoral elections because he has made traffic "worse" during his spell in charge.

Speaking to Q magazine, she said: "The traffic in London is worse than ever now. All Red Ken wants is roadworks going on everywhere.

"Don't use the Tube; can't use the roads? No. I'll just have to walk I guess."

When asked what laws she would enforce as mayor, the singer suggested: "I would make it so that young musicians, aspiring musicians wouldn't have to pay the congestion charge or pay taxes."
