Diane fought against racism all her life. She is not anti- semantic.
Reinstate her.

I think everyone understood the point that Diane Abbott was making, if a little clumsily.
If it is your accent or speech pattern that identifies you as different that is not the same as being visually identifiable.
It's time as a society that we became more inclusive. To allow Diane back into the Labour Party would demonstrate a level of sensitivity, I'm not sure it's capable of under the current leadership. But it would be good.

Diane Abbott, Britain’s first Black female MP, has faced racism and fought it. She should be commended for her tireless work for standing up for equality and justice. Restore the whip.

She told the truth. Sloppy with some of her words, but fundamentally the truth.

Diane Abbott is anti-racist to her core. To suggest otherwise is pure political manipulation.

It was an unfair and biased decision that will exclude voters from voting for their preferred candidate

Diane Abbott has been MP in the borough I live in for decades and I want it to stay that way. She's had a hard time with her health in recent years, so I think that should be taken into consideration. She has consistently shown throughout her career that she stands for equality and fairness in society, to fire her for one mistake would most definitely be Labour's mistake and Hackney's loss. But I guess we could get her to stand as an independent

Withdrawal of the whip from Diane Abbott is yet another case of closing debate in the Labour Party. No party that claims to be democratic can thrive and be creative and truly democratic if it silences it most outspoken activists
