It is not justified, to withdraw the whip from Diane Abbott.

Diane has inspired countless young black women to get involved in the Labour Party.

Diane has campaigned against racism for year and this is just an excuse by Starmer to keep purging the left from the party

Another new low. I thought we were better than this, but clearly not. I am a member of Exeter CLP.

The whip must be restored to Diane. The Labour Party must be held to account for their racism and disgusting behaviour towards this lady.

Despicable treatment of elected members who represents the global majority in this country not only is it an afront to her as a democratically elected member of parliament. It also shines a light on the utter denial of the rights of a cross section of the community to have a voice across all societal issues housing, employment, healthcare child care, education etc and also denies us a right to inform and debate policy formation and legislation. It is nothing less than an assault on our human rights. From those tasked with withholding democracy. The government across all parties is I fear is broken beyond repair when it stoops to silencing and removing our rights to political representation.

The Labour Party needs to demonstrate best practice in terms of impartiality, natural justice and supporting those who experience racism and personal abuse on a daily basis and have been significant voices against this abhorrent behaviour.

Diane should be fully restored asap - she is a sound and valuable member of the labour team.

It is essential that this brave woman a stalwart anti-racist and labour supporter is not victimised by the labour party. It is unthinkable and gives a clear message that the leadership of the labour party does not value anti-racism. We the survivors of racism see this clearly.

Dianne Abbot is a lifelong anti-racist campaigner whose suspension from the PLP verges on racism on the part of the parliamentary executive.

There should be an appropriate response to Diane's apology. That is reinstate her. The reputation of Labour is being wrecked and I can't bear to think of the Tories getting back!

She should like others be allowed to apologise, even though she already has. Factionalism should not be the prime directive but justice should be.
