Diane Abbott is a great woman. Labour NEC et al., have long targeted her, disrespected her in wats others are not. Her speaking clumsily re disparities in racial profiling and targeting of Black and other more melanated folks vs those less melanated was something she immediately apologised and took respinsibility for. She is routinely subject to racism, misogynoir, misogyny and ageism online and has also been targeter for such and bullying within her own party. That has never been corrected or even apologised for.
She has supported those who need support, represented constituents, gone above and beyond for so very many. For people with all sorts of backgrounds and different needs. She keeps showing up. She has never chased her own aggraindaisement but to leave the world better for others. She is a legend and her treatment as mother of the house and prior has been abominable. To try to expel her using her clumsy words as an excuse is disingenuous as labour certainly have not done this to others who have been explicitly racist, others who have even engaged in physical violence and corruption. Hackney and Diane Abbot deserve better. It would be unjust to prevent her running. Such treatment just like treatment of many Black members now especially socialist ones simply displays Labour is a party that cannot be trusted under Starmer who continues to engage in anti-Black racism and promote others engaged in the same.

Diane has been treated disgracefully, like all the left wing MPs and members who have been picked off one by one so that the smug rump of backward-looking blairites can continue to live in their dreams of past glories.

Diane has been fighting anti racism in all its forms and has been and is a target of vile racists. This suspension is yet another manifestation of racist targeting of Diane by Labour Party leadership.

Diane has experienced continual racism within the Labour Party and not restoring the whip is simply continuing bullying an discrimination

I hope Diane knows the huge support she has in the Black community. We know what Diane was saying and we know how racist the Labour Party is.
Such hypocrisy...
End the witch hunt and bring her back!
Starmer needs to go. QUICKLY.
Reinstate Diane as MP
