Commenting on the speculation that Mr Livingstone is to be readmitted to the Labour Party as candidate in the London Mayoral election next Wednesday, Liberal Democrat Mayoral candidate Simon Hughes MP said:-

"All the discussions must clearly have been prompted by the fact that Labour and Livingstone can be beaten in London. Ken Livingstone and Labour lost his former seat of Brent East and this shows Londoners which party is in the best position beat them in the Mayoral election.

"I am happy to take on both Mr Livingstone and Mrs Gavron or either one. But if integrity and consistency mean anything to Labour then they should not go back on its promise to suspend Mr Livingstone. He should serve his suspension and Labour should stick to its principles.
