Ken Livingstone and Kevan Jones go head to head live

Earlier in the day the former London Mayor said that Mr Jones, who has a history of depression, needed “psychiatric help.”

Mr Livingstone apologised – but the row re-ignited again after Mr Jones repeated his criticism of the “offensive language” used.

How many times does he say..." The fact of the matter is...." ???

[masterglen]

He's 70 years old yet still says phrases like "He started it!"

Embarrassing.

[tomcummins]

Livingstone should have simply apologised as a courtesy, but Jones is clearly exploiting mental health, and treating it as a trump card, for his own political purposes.

[lewisgrace]

Livingstone was too defensive, he should unreservedly apologise.

[herbivarsawus]

This is like watching two children arguing.

I think that Kevin Jones MP needs to practice what he preaches before wasting the publics time and money with his whining.

[devoluteweb]

The fact of the matter is, this is embarrassing viewing.

[LSTWTF]

Ken couldn't even get Kevan's name right, he kept calling him Jeremy..

[deafected]

I'm am glad Ken Livingstone is on board. I would have him back as Mayor of London in a flash.

Imagine these two in the playground screaming "no fair, no fair!!" Oh wait a minute, you don't have to imagine it.... Absurd behaviour.

Should send a pair of boxing gloves to both of them in the post LOL

[michaelcavanagh]

does anyone know what the fact of the matter is?

[perky]

I'm really interested in learning what the fact of the matter is. Plz PM me if you know.

[georgemartin]

Labour becoming more and more of a joke

[tegwenhafparry]

I suffer with mental health issues and am a left winger, I also find the term "Loony Left" very offensive! So those on the right should also think about using that term!

[besty]

Can someone tell me what the fact of the matter is?

[michaelhope]

Pretty churlish from Red Ken; think Kevan Jones was in the right.
However the media have inflamed this quite a bit

[logtothebase]

The fact of the mater is, that the fact of the mater, is the fact of the mater, causing offence is not illegal, is simple fact of the mater, .. in fact

[Rabceez]

Well "the fact of the matter is !??" 😕

[chonnerone]

God our media is rubbish! Who cares... policies please. Sir Ken is a don, Corbyn is a diamond.
