Labour official ‘suspended for supporting Ken Livingstone’s Hitler comment’

The secretary of Croydon Central Labour Party has been suspended for reportedly backing Ken Livingstone's comments about Hitler and Zionism.

David White expressed support for Mr Livingstone’s comments in a tweet sent to a local newspaper reporter.

Mr White said the former London mayor had been "largely accurate" when he described the Nazi leader as a Zionist.

Writing to Croydon Advertiser reporter Gareth Davies, Mr White said: "The odd thing is Ken's references to Hitler were largely accurate (google Haavara agreement) but way it was put unfortunate.”
