Former mayor of London Ken Livingstone has been suspended by the Labour Party for “bringing the party into disrepute” in the wake of the anti-Semitism row, officials said on Thursday.
Senior figures in the party, including Labour’s candidate for London mayor and two shadow cabinet ministers, called for Mr Livingstone to be thrown out after he said Naz Shah’s actions were “over the top” but not anti-Semitic.
In a BBC Radio London interview, the former London mayor claimed Hitler had supported Zionism before the Holocaust as he insisted he had never heard anyone within Labour be anti-Semitic.
