Britain’s longest-serving black MP talks about fighting prejudice inside and outside the Labour party, the failure of Corbynism – and the ‘poison’ of Brexit

Diane Abbott was elected MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington in 1987. We are sitting outside a cafe in her constituency, reminiscing about her fondest memory in politics, which arrived 10 years later: the 1997 general election and the sheer exhilaration of getting the tube, victorious, to Labour’s landslide celebration party in the Royal Festival Hall, strangers shouting congratulations.

I also refuse to make white people's racism my problem.

I feel exactly the same about black racism directed at whites

Wow, lots of triggered folk here. Whatever could be their problem?

The statement itself is racist.

She really is bloody awful. Imagine her in government. Just so, so awful.

‘White people’ don't exist. Beings exist. Nobody is a skin colour.

Seriously. Who needs to resort to racism if you want to have a go at Dianne Abbott ?

Makes sense. Diane’s chief problem is arithmetic.

Oh give it a rest

I refuse to make Diane Abbotts racism my problem
