Labour deploys chicken suit in London mayoral race One shows the 'Mayor', sporting a blonde wig, on a Barclays hire bike in front of City Hall, the seat of local Government in London, while the other sees him being pursued down a street. The stunt, dubbed 'Boris Johns-hen', seeks to highlight how Mr Johnson "has chickened out of debating his opponents and defending his policies." The campaign to elect Ken Livingstone says Mr Johnson has in recent months declined to attend hustings with the candidates for the mayoralty hosted by UK Feminista, a women's equality campaign, and the Federation of Small Business. Mr Livingstone has asked Mr Johnson to take part in a televised debate on his proposals to cut Tube fares. A spokesman for the Mayor said he saw "no merit" in the event because Mr Livingstone's figures were not credible. A spokesman for Mr Johnson said: "On a day when Boris Johnson delivered a budget which proposed freezing council tax for a fourth successive year and secured an extra 1,000 police, it is a sad reflection on Ken Livingstone that that's how he treats an announcement of such importance to Londoners." A spokesman for Mr Livingstone confirmed the videos had been produced by the London Labour Party.
