Regarding Ken Livingstone's remarks accusing a Jewish reporter of behaving like "concentration camp guard", Baroness Sarah Ludford, MEP for London and Liberal Democrat European justice spokeswoman, said:

"Not only is Ken Livingstone acting like a political thug, but he has gone beyond tastelessness with this anti-Semitic outburst."

"He should certainly apologise for these offensive remarks which come so soon after Holocaust Memorial Day on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and coincide with the Community Security Trust report showing a shocking rise in anti-Semitic attacks especially in London."

"Ken Livingstone needs to take more care that even if he favours anti-Zionism, he does not insult London by insulting Jews."
