Ken Livingstone should resign, says Labour MP Mike Gapes

Labour MP Mike Gapes has called for Ken Livingstone to resign as leader of the party’s Trident review.

Mike Gapes said the ex-London mayor should “gracefully withdraw” for his comments about shadow defence minister Kevan Jones

Mr Livingstone has "unreservedly" apologised for saying the MP - who has suffered with depression - needed "psychiatric help".

Asked by Jo Coburn whether Mr Livingstone should be fired if he does not stand down, Mr Gapes said that was a matter for whoever appointed him.
