Former London Mayor Ken Livingstone has said that Labour Party has suspended him for another year over Hitler comments, as we went to press.
The former London Mayor was dragged before a disciplinary panel after reportedly claiming the Nazi leader supported Zionism in the 1930s. The comment were made to BBC London.
Mr Livingstone has been suspended from the Labour Party since the row erupted in April 2016, when he was defending MP Naz Shah over claims she had made anti-Semitic social media posts. He could be expelled if Labour bosses decide his comments were "grossly detrimental" to the party.
The BBC reported that on Tuesday morning he blamed the Jewish Chronicle and Labour MPs for misreporting his comments. He said that if he was expelled from Labour he would take legal action to fight the decision.
