Anyone know if Abbott was ever in the running to be Labour Leader.

Probably the closest she got was the time she was shag*ing Jeremy Corbyn … so she tried everything at her disposal

Labour looking into Abbott's comments about racism


[The Labour Party has said it is taking
"incredibly seriously" an interview
by Diane Abbott in which she stood by comments
she made about racism that led to a
year-long suspension from the Labour Party.

The veteran Labour MP was asked about
a letter she sent to the Observer in April 2023
in which she suggested people of colour experienced
racism in a different way to Jewish people,
Irish people and Travellers.

She withdrew her comments at the time
and apologised but was suspended from the party
and only re-admitted just before last year's
general election.

Asked by the BBC's James Naughtie if
she looked back on the incident with regret,
she said: "No, not at all."

She added: "Clearly, there must be a
difference between racism which is about colour
and other types of racism because you
can see a Traveller or a Jewish person
walking down the street, you don't know.

"You don't know unless you stop to speak
to them or you're in a meeting with them.

"But if you see a black person walking
down the street, you see straight away
that they're black.
They are different types of racism."]

this just shows what a low intellect Abbot has. A jewish person can be easily identified in the right circumstances, a black person may also not be immediately identifiable.

Her definition of racism differs from everone elses
