In April 2023, Keir Starmer unjustly withdrew the Labour whip from Diane Abbott MP.

We are calling for the whip to be restored.

Why is this important?

Diane Abbott is Britain’s first Black female MP. Elected in 1987, she is the country’s longest-serving Black MP and has represented the Labour Party and her constituents for more than 36 years. In 2022, she was unanimously re-selected by members of her Constituency Labour Party.

As a lifelong campaigner for equality and justice, Diane Abbott has been at the forefront of anti-racism campaigns, giving voice to the voiceless and lending her support to communities and families who have been victims of racist policing, school exclusions, deaths in custody, racist attacks, murders and the hostile environment policies of successive Tory governments.

She has stood by so many of us, and now it is time for us to stand by her.

By signing this petition, you will be sending a message of solidarity to Diane. You will also be sending a clear message to Keir Starmer and the Labour leadership that the whip must be restored.
