Here it is: the full fascinating interview that Labour's Ken Livingstone gave to LBC this afternoon - where he mentioned Hitler a dozen times, but didn't say sorry once.
In an extended interview that opened Iain's show, Ken spoke as a new investigation into his comments about Hitler and Zionism was confirmed by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

"I only mention Hitler when I'm asked a question about him."
It was must-listen radio, as Iain continued to press Ken on the comments that had caused the storm, as well as the impact it's having on Corbyn and his own family.
If I had a company selling shovels I'd be trying to hire Ken Livingstone to help sell them.

Throughout, Ken continued to mention the German dictator - something lots of political correspondents and ordinary listeners noticed as they listened along:
Well @ken4london seems unrepentant. @IainDale @LBC

The car crash that is Ken Livingstone is too painful to look away from.

Labour should never have made Ken Livingstone their Hitler spokesperson.

I don't think I've seen anyone, not even One Direction at the height of their promo run, work the media circuit like Ken Livingstone.

Thanks to Ken Livingstone mentioning Hitler 12 times on LBC I have just won a bottle of wine from my @GuidoFawkes colleagues #BetOnKen
