MP says it is ‘silly’ to claim racism over skin colour is the same as other types of racism – but she has spent her life fighting antisemitism
Diane Abbott has said she has no regrets about comments on racism that led to her year-long suspension from the Labour party.
The veteran Labour MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington was disciplined for writing a letter to the Observer in April 2023 arguing that people of colour experienced racism “all their lives” and in a different way to Jewish people, Irish people and Travellers.
