A LABOUR MP representing Liverpool has apologised after describing Israel's government as "fascist" during PMQs.
Kim Johnson, the MP for Liverpool Riverside, said in the Commons early on Wednesday afternoon: “Since the election of the fascist Israeli government in December last year, there has been an increase in human rights violations against Palestinian civilians, including children.”
Her comment provoked heckling across the House, as she added: “Can the Prime Minister tell us how he is challenging what Amnesty and other human rights organisations are referring to as an apartheid state?”
