Ken Livingstone on the latest rat to desert Boris' ship...
"Tim Parker was supposed to be the cornerstone of Boris Johnson's administration. His exit after just a couple of months in fact confirms the chaos which has existed in Boris Johnson's administration since day one.
"This is the third resignation of one of Boris Johnson's most senior officers in only three months - following Deputy Mayor Ray Lewis and Deputy Chief of Staff James McGrath and other Deputy Mayors and top appointees are known to be at one another's throats within City Hall.
"All this flows from Boris Johnson's incoherent policies for London and therefore incapacity to run the city.
"While some Tory sections of the press gave a glowing evaluation of Boris Johnson's first 100 days the reality was quite different and those following the administration closely were fully aware of the growing chaos at its heart. The resignation the First Deputy Mayor brings this chaos right out into the open.
"This latest resignation, after Boris Johnson's Deputy Chief of Staff and his deputy Ray Lewis, indicates how unfit the Tories are not only to run London but also the country.
