'I do hope that it does show that the Conservatives have changed into a party that can again be trusted,' Johnson said, shortly after the result was announced to cheers from raucous supporters. 'Let's get cracking tomorrow and let's have a drink tonight.' Johnson, a former magazine editor, offered lavish praise for his rivals in the race and paid tribute to Livingstone's role in guiding London through the 2005 transit network bombings. Livingstone — a staunch leftist who courted Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and faced off with the U.S. Embassy for unpaid congestion charges — said the blame for his defeat must rest at his door, not Brown's.
