Diane Abbot suspended by Labour on 12:35 - Apr 23 with 3406 views | Dr_Winston | She is and always has been a moron and unrepentant racist. A walking, talking example of the hypocrisy of the far left. Bigotry is terrible, unless it's their bigotry in which case it's "progressive". | |

Diane Abbot suspended by Labour on 12:37 - Apr 23 with 3411 views | Gwyn737 | Absolutely. A shocking thing to write. Thankfully it’s been handled well. An immediate suspension by the Labour Party and a contrite apology from the person herself. Compare that to the handling of the Raab affair. There are still some bigots who think that an independent enquiry was wrong and the oxbridge educated civil servants are all left wing activists out to destroy out democracy. Mad how some can twist reality to fit their own narrow ideology. [Post edited 23 Apr 2023 12:39]

One is widely exposed by their own actions. The other requires investigation. [Post edited 23 Apr 2023 12:42]

Diane Abbot suspended by Labour on 12:45 - Apr 23 with 3387 views | Gwyn737 | It still took time and Raab had to resign as opposed to being suspended or sacked. I agree that there’s no defence of Raab yet some still do. I suppose we we should be thankful we’ve lost two awful politicians in 24 hours 🤷🻠| | | |

Diane Abbot suspended by Labour on 15:23 - Apr 23 with 3272 views | KeithHaynes | Despite her ridiculous history as an MP her comments are correct when the law is applied appropriately. The problem is she chose one of the examples as Jews. There is a clear ruling that Labour Party members should steer clear of that particular hot potato, which she ignored hence her suspension. | |

Diane Abbot suspended by Labour on 17:32 - Apr 23 with 3182 views | waynekerr55 | I mean the question I'm asking is what was she thinking? She's been spoiling for a fight after Corbyn lost the whip. | |

Diane Abbot suspended by Labour on 17:41 - Apr 23 with 3174 views | SullutaCreturned | 2 down, hundreds to go! The big mistake was Raab being allowed to resign when he should have been sacked. The tories have consistently defended the indefensible and then allowed them to leave on their own terms rather than sack them in disgrace. It's a shocking habit, yet another reason why they need ousting. It was only a matter of time before reality caught up with Abbot. How she survived so long after Corbyn lost the leadership is a complete mystery. her and several others. | | | |

Diane Abbot suspended by Labour on 18:15 - Apr 23 with 3140 views | onehunglow | I believe the likes of her are fully hate whereas many Tories seem full of contempt for us. Not much choice really Why did Diego to such a white middle class University | |

Diane Abbot suspended by Labour on 18:22 - Apr 23 with 3140 views | Joesus_Of_Narbereth | Her comments aren’t correct though. It’s a clumsy and unedifying attempt to somehow equate the horrors of world history as the slave trade, apartheid in South Africa, civil rights issues in America with contemporary attitudes to race in 21st century Britain. I have absolutely no doubt that she has suffered more abuse than most. But comments like this are just ball-achingly stupid. | |

Diane Abbot suspended by Labour on 18:34 - Apr 23 with 3122 views | onehunglow | It’s always been said the last bastion for racists are Jews Many Labour politicians seem to despise them,mainly due to their support for PLO | |
| |
Diane Abbot suspended by Labour on 18:48 - Apr 23 with 3110 views | JACKMANANDBOY | To claim, using historical examples that Jews have not been treated as badly as others seems to be about as fooking stupid as it gets. | |

Diane Abbot suspended by Labour on 17:37 - Apr 24 with 2795 views | SullutaCreturned | Lets start in around 270BCE with Manetho. Why is antisemitism called the longest hatred? Manetho wrote that the jews were "expelled Egyptian lepers" So we can trace antisemitism back well over 2000 years. The Greeks and Romans were doing it too. | | | |
