This is Derbyshire --
DERBY North MP Chris Williamson has called claims that he compared the Liberal Democrats to Nazis as "utterly ludicrous".
The Labour MP tweeted on social media site Twitter: "The #LibDems have facilitated the most vicious rightwing govt since WW2. Let's vote these collaborators out of office."
In response, Twitter users have accused him of implying he meant Nazis.
But Mr Williamson said his tweet was about the Lib Dems "seeking to divert their own shameful record away from propping up the right-wing government."
He added: "One only has to look in the Oxford English Dictionary at the word 'collaborator' to see that there is no connection whatsoever with Nazis." Reported by This is 1 hour ago.
