Diane must be reinstated! She’s done absolutely nothing wrong and should never have had the whip removed !!

Most highly abused MP now suppressed by her own colleagues. Disgustingly reminiscent of the worst historical examples of racism and repression.

What a bunch of corrupt shysters the current leadership of SKS's Faux-Labour.

Throughout her life's Abbott has stood against strongly against the things she is being accused of. I astonished that an investigation is being held. Would that the Labour Party had acted so quickly in the case of the previous leader of the party and his repeated anti semitic remarks.

Keir Starmer's fight with the left needs to stop. Restore the whip

Keir Starmer's reaction was clearly opportunistic to remove a powerful left wing voice. He has blatantly lied to the membership on several occasions. The Labour Party should have a policy of zero tolerance of systematic deceit!

It's a disgrace Diane Abbott has been treated in this way. I see it as a racist, factional act. Restore the whip to one of the greatest MP Labour has ever had. Abbot deserves better than this. I'm disgusted with the Labour party.

Disappointed that she has been suspended. Hope the investigation will back her explanation & restore her good name & recognise excellent life time work.

It's a pity the same people who are so quick to get rid of Diane, we're not so quick to Support/Defend her when she suffered/continues to suffer abuse - hypocritical low-lives.

A black woman who has suffered extreme bigotry and racism speaks about racism. We should first listen, then question, then contemplate and then, if necessary, judge or disagree. Instead, she is suspended and excoriated, mostly by people who never stood up for her when she was subject to real racism.

Starmer is a racist

If bigots like Trevor Phillips can get the whip restored and Angela "funny tinge" Smith is allowed back, stop pretending this suspension is for anything but factional reasons.

Labour Party has lost its way if senior black MP is sidelined through manipulation of rules.

As a long time labour member in Diane's constituency I and other members wholeheartedly share the opinion that to suspend the whip from Diane after her apology is an erroneous move on the part of the leadership and does nothing to tackle anti semitism and racism towards GRT, Irish and other minorities in the labour movement. Diane is an outstanding MP and campaigner against racism.

This is appalling treatment of a lifelong campaigner against racism. The whip must be restored!

I am the Treasurer of the Ethnic Communities Forum and Vice Chair of Thornton Heath Branch in the Croydon North Constituency Labour Party. However for complete clarity, I am signing this petition in a personal capacity - as the Labour Party is no longer a safe space for its members and in particular for members from ethnic minority communities to express support for anti-racist causes or to generally express dissenting opinions without risk of unjust and discriminatory mistreatment by the Labour Party itself. The mistreatment of Diane Abbott by the Parliamentary Labour Party is a case in point.
