Ken Livingstone is editing this week’s edition of the New Statesman. Ken’s edition will be taking on everything from the implications of Obama’s election for America’s cities to the peace dividend and global warming.

There’ll be plenty more on this later and I’ll update on it as the next couple of days go by.

You’ll be able to get Ken’s guest-edit in newsagents at the end of the week.

UPDATE: More on this from Paul Waugh’s blog here and Labourlist here.

UPDATE, 4.15pm: Media Guardian has a bit more including the cover here.
