Momentum has said the Labour whip ‘should already have been restored’ to Diane Abbott if claims made on BBC Newsnight are true.
A probe into comments which Diane Abbott made about racism affecting Jewish and Traveller communities was completed five months ago, according to BBC Newsnight.
Diane Abbott was suspended from the Labour Party over comments she made about racism affecting Jewish and Traveller communities A Momentum spokesperson said: “This is outrageous news which confirms that the Starmer leadership is trying to force Britain’s first black woman MP out of Parliament. “Starmer’s conduct has already been insulting and demeaning to a woman he rightly called a ‘trailblazer’ – the first step to making amends is to restore the whip and let Diane run as the Labour candidate, as local members wish.”
