This week Ken Livingstone has managed to cause a stir after he appeared on the BBC to defend Keith Vaz -- but ended up talking about Hitler. However, there was another reason Livingstone's appearance on television piqued Mr S's interest: why is he still in Britain?

During the EU referendum campaign, Livingstone threatened to emigrate if Brexit triumphed:

“ 'I would personally start thinking about emigrating to somewhere the economy is not going to collapse.'

Yet three months on and Livingstone remains in Brexit Britain, showing no signs of making a quick getaway. While it's certainly true -- as this week's Spectator cover story details -- that the economy is confounding Remain doom-mongers such as Livingstone, Mr S suspects the former mayor still ought to make good on his words. After all, Steerpike wouldn't want voters to feel misled.
