Livingstone ‘must be removed’ from Labour
Ken Livingstone can no longer remain in the Labour Party due to his controversial comments regarding Hitler and Zionism, shadow attorney general Shami Chakrabarti has said.
In a blistering attack on the former London mayor, Ms Chakrabarti said Mr Livingstone had brought shame upon the party and Labour now needed to apologise to the Jewish community.
The comments came as Mr Livingstone, who is suspended from the party due to his claim that Hitler supported Zionism in the 1930s, has signalled he will resist any move to expel him.
Ms Chakrabarti said: “I don’t believe that Ken Livingstone can any longer be in the Labour Party.”
