Much of Diane Abbott's career can and should be seen as a British success story. She was able to go to #CambridgeUniversity from a background that was by any standards seriously underprivileged, accepted by the #civilservice and served as a member of parliament for more than thirty years including a stint on the #labour front bench. It is a matter of shame for #britain that she has experienced not just overt racism and sexism but #kafkaesque treatment as well!
