Labour MP Ken Livingstone pays tribute to the late Conservative MP, Ian Gow, who was killed this morning by an IRA car bomb at his home in East Sussex. Livingstone supports a united Ireland and wants British troops to be withdrawn, but he admits Gow’s murder makes the issue of withdrawal a lot harder for him to argue. Male interviewer not identified.
