Week in pictures: 23–29 April









Ken Livingstone
In a series of performances reminiscent of a Fawlty Towers episode, Ken Livingstone seemed unable to appear in public without alluding to Adolf Hitler in some way. It all started during a seemingly harmless interview on the BBC, when the former mayor of London suggested Hitler had supported Zionism. The subsequent media backlash featured the veteran politician hiding in a disabled toilet to avoid questions on the subject and he was eventually suspended from the Labour Party for his comments. Despite this, Livingstone has continued to bring up Hitler in subsequent interviews about Fidel Castro, Keith Vaz and Syria.
