Now Red Ken suspended ‘indefinitely’ for Hitler slur

KEN Livingstone’s suspension from the Labour Party over ‘anti-semitic’ remarks has been extended indefinitely.

Labour’s disciplinary body suspended the former London mayor in April 2016 after he claimed Adolf Hitler supported Zionism before going ‘mad’.

Mr Livingstone was suspended for a further year in April last year after a Labour disciplinary panel upheld three charges of breaching party rules.

The party said yesterday that his suspension had been extended ‘indefinitely’.

It follows a probe into new complaints about him. In what is believed to be his last act as Labour general secretary, outgoing Iain McNicol signed off the extension last week.

The announcement came after Jewish Labour Movement members wrote to Labour’s national executive committee (NEC) on Wednesday demanding his suspension is not lifted. The NEC’s disputes panel is set to hear Mr Livingstone’s case next week.

Last week he said he expected to be reinstated and said he had been referring to an agreement between German Zionists and the Nazi government in 1933.
