#DianeAbbott is over 70 years old & is #Labour's past. I understand why she was suspended but she had a very valid point from a Black person's perspective
HOWEVER, saying what she did left Labour wide open to criticisms of #Antisemitism, just as the #Israel & #Palestine war broke out, & with #GE2024 on the horizon
This was the opportunity the desperate #Tories were looking for, leaving Labour little option but to be seen to be throwing the book at her. A wider discussion is needed
So Victoria Derbyshire reveals today that disciplinary proceedings against Diane Abbott ended months ago. Consequently Starmer had to come clean that they have no intention of allowing her to stand in the next GE. What a nasty piece of work he is. #Labour#ukpolitics
Labour doesn't know what to do, they hate Diane Abbott but losing another seat to an independent in London would look bad. It won't effect their chances of Government but these are vain, public-school boys and they have to WIN (especially against a Black Lady...)
