Diane Abbott posts tribute to Stephen Lawrence two days after 30th anniversary of the teen's murder amid anti-Semitism row and suspension from Labour
Ms Abbott tweeted: "Thirty years since the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence, and the Met police is no better now than it was then #racism".
The tribute comes a day after the former shadow home secretary under Jeremy Corbyn said Jewish people "undoubtedly experience prejudice", which is "similar to racism" but often used as if they are interchangeable.
