Good grief, it's incredible now how the media are presenting Abbott as more like a Mother Theresa of politics.

They were all clamouring against her before.

She has often caused problems and said controversial and at times offensive things.
Whether she stands again or not, the only thing about Diane Abbott is that she'll moan her way through the next parliament and much more than likely be embroiled again in offensive actions/ statements of some kind.
Or if she doesn't get to stand again, or does as an independent, then she'll carry on moaning anyhow.

It's laughable that the Cons, the media and political pundits are now lauding her as a victim here
She put herself in this situation by not controlling her mouth and her offensive thinking
No one else put her in this situation.

She also knows full well it is the NEC who'll decide if she stands again.
She knows Labour procedures with the NEC.
So untill they meet and decide she could do everyone a favour and pull the zip over her mouth for a change

Starmer and his cronies ignored the racism faced by Abbott and other female poc within the Labour Party, at the hands of other members, even after there was a detailed report given to the leadership, she has been relentlessly mocked not only by official right wingers, but the so called ‘centrists’ in her own party which she has been a member of for decades before a lot of them even joined the party and then not only do the tories accept money from someone who calls for her to be shot because she makes him hate all black women, the Labour leadership then had the audacity to fundraise off the back of that by pretending to give a toss about the racism she faces, she has a very reasonable anger because the treatment has been awful, especially considering some of the people the leadership are now fully embracing in their embark of power, it’s utterly shameful

She has been thrown under an Islington bus to aid Starmers power grab

[Parmy]

Only shameful thing is people singing the praises of an IRA supporter.

She'll be loving every minute and making a right meal of it all.

Why doesn't she just wait for the NEC to meet and decide.
It's what she would have told others to do in the past when she saw the NEC as far more important than any leader.( bar Corbyn).

She is going to stand for Labour.

There's another Labour MP had to be stopped from standing due to a complaint. Lloyd Russell-Moyle.
He's took it the right way.

Why can't Abbott.

why is anyone surprised by what's happening here. Sunak and Starmer both change policies on a whim depending on which way the wind is blowing.

You cannot believe a word either of them says

That's a total stitch up on Russell-Moyle tbf, it shouldn't be allowed

I have my suspicions it is possibly, yes.

[In the Drunk Tank]

It's like a Kafka story.

'We've received this conveniently timed complaint just before the election. We can't tell you what it is but you now can't stand. You can appeal but there's no chance of being cleared before the election. Try again next time'

Diane Abbott has told Sir Keir Starmer that she would not be “intimidated” as
she vowed to remain the MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington.

In her first public remarks about the row over her selection, which has thrown
Labour’s campaign into turmoil, she said that she intends to stay on as an MP
“as long as I am allowed to”.

Addressing her supporters on the steps of Hackney Town Hall, she said: “You
have always stood with me, in good times and bad. And I will always stand with
you. I am not going to allow myself to be intimidated. I am going to be your
MP and as long as I am allowed to.”

Corbyn: I have sent a message of support to Diane
Jeremy Corbyn received a standing ovation as he took to his feet and made his way to the podium to begin his speech, Connor Stringer writes.

Holding a small microphone, his opening remarks were to thank those in attendance and to wish two of his staffers happy birthday.

But soon after, the hall erupted into applause as Mr Corbyn expressed his support for Diane Abbott

He said: “Even as I am speaking, there are thousands of people outside Hackney Town Hall in support of Diane Abbott.

“Obviously I am not there with her but I have sent a message of support”.

[joeysteele]

I'd be suspending her again if I had my way.
The way she's going on.

Definitely time she was retired from Parliament.

She comes across as deranged.

[Liam-]

How dare she be angry at the appalling treatment she’s received

[Parmy]

Things can only get better....

I wonder if they are still going to use that...

Jesus, it's like 2 old dinosaurs risen from the grave. Bring back spitting image.
