Ex-London mayor Ken Livingstone is to address a National Union of Students conference later this month looking at challenging antisemitism, racism, Islamophobia and fascism.
He is one of several speakers invited to address the NUS Anti-Racism, Anti-Fascism event, with MP Margaret Hodge and the president of the Federation of Student Islamic Societies also on the bill.
His appearance will take place almost a year to the day after his alleged remarks about wealthy Jews not voting Labour, which led prominent Jewish Labour supporters to complain to Ed Miliband that “Ken determines Jews as a religious group, but does not accept Jews as an ethnicity and a people”.
Participants include the Union of Jewish Students, Searchlight, Unite Against Facism and the Jewish Council on Racial Equality.
