Chris Williamson, the MP readmitted to the Labour Party this week despite his record of supporting antisemites, refused five times to apologise or admit he did anything wrong in an interview with BBC Radio Derby on Thursday.

Radio host Ian Skye asked Mr Williamson if he  had emerged from his suspension process with a “clear understanding” of what he did wrong.

Mr Williamson replied: “Look, I don’t want to get into Labour Party processes, I submitted a lengthy response to its inquiry and now the decision has been taken and I’m back in the party as a fully-fledged party member.”
