Diane has apologised for causing any offence. She has faced the disproportionate amount of racism that was being denied. Anything but restoring the whip would be wrong.

I believe her comments were wrong and she should not have gone public with such an ill informed opinion. Her suspension however appears to be politically motivated. At least she has not lied to gain her position.

The incomparable service Diane Abbot has given to the party while suffering abonimable racist and sexist abuse, means that removing the whip from Diane is both insulting and unjust. It should be immediately restored

Diane Abbott MP is the longest serving Black Member of Parliament. She has been at the forefront of fighting for racial justice, alongside others such as Bernie Grant, while others have remained silent. She has also been vilified as a Black woman, receiving the most horrendous racially motivated hate correspondence than any other MP throughout her 35 year career. What kind of party does this to a woman who has put service before self her entire life? Do what is right by this woman.

Diane Abbott should never have been suspended, as even a cursory look at what was published should reveal that there is no inherent antisemitism (or anti Irish or GRT) sentiment within.

Racists always want to silence anti-racists. This is why they are targeting Diane Abbott.

This is yet another example of hate for this woman, other MPs do worse and aren't treated like this.

Diane is a seasoned Member with a track record of caring for ‘the people’ , particularly the marginalised. We need her effective within the party. Restore her

Diane Abbott's removal was a ridiculous, knee-jerk reaction. If Kier Starmer wishes to be taken seriously, he must restore Ms. Abbott to her position. She is the face and voice of the black community and has served the Labour Party faithfully and effectively for most of her life.
