#LetDianeStand!

If the Labour party wants to keep the black vote they so rely on Reinstate the whip.

There are massive confusion about discrimination faced by black people and what the Labour government leader see as antisemitism. Keir Starmer should know better than to use antisemitism as a discriminatory measure against any black person, including long standing Labour Party members. He should be ashamed to call himself a Labour Party leader.

The whip should be returned ASAP

Diane Abbott is an excellent, principled and hard-working MP.

Dianne has been constant and committed working very hard for the Labour Party. Other politicians have done and said far worst things and they are still there being promoted. Dianne is being targetted

Diane has been a committed supporter of nuclear disarmament throughout her life and in parliament, and continues to be so

Return the whip, it’s only right

Diane Abbott has years of experience and is knowledgeable of opposing political parties. Please remember we are the voters, without Diane Abbott, I will not vote for Labour Party.

Please reinstate her. I know that she has been misunderstood in this situation and there needs to be better awareness around race issues. If it truly was understood you would have took the time to let her explain what she meant and take the time to understand what she was saying. I know what she was trying to say and sadly she didn't quite word it in a way that most people would get.

I believe she was trying to express a feeling that I understand that if we try to measure our 400 years of treatment against others we are demonized.

Labour's (Starmer's) purge of the left is now becoming embarrassing! The Party's in debt, the membership is shrinking by the day, and the electorate are being systematically denied proper frank and open debate, and we're being deliberately denied our hard won rightful democracy!

Allow her dedicated service as an MP to continue and to move on with her life with dignity.

She is the original black lady of Labour and should be respected

Starmers labour a disgrace

Solidarity Dianne

Let justice be done

It is so undemocratic to remove the whip - this tactic I suspect is being used NOT correctly: it is certainly preventing free democratic expression and representation of the ordinary voters and supporters.

The whole affair has gone quiet, deadly quiet, and I’m concerned as to what exactly is going on

Disgraceful, behaviour of the Labour Party acting as judge jury and prosecution

Diane has been an amazing MP for years despite being subjected to the most appalling racist and mysoginistic abuse for years. She had always shown unwavering commitment to represent her constituents and some of the most marginalised people and stand up against prejudice. She has offered apology for recent indiscretion and what she offers as an MP has far greater significance than what would be lost if she’s no longer able to practise as an MP
