Diane Abbott is a political pawn in Labour’s farcical disciplinary process

Diane Abbott, MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington attends the ‘Stand With Abbott Rally’ on 15 March and now she has an impressive coalition of people, including Ed Balls, Harriet Harman and Angela Rayner, saying they would like to see her back.that said “Irish, Jewish and Traveller people… undoubtedly experience prejudice… But they are not all their lives subject to racism.”

Nearly a year later, she still languishes in limbo, thanks to Labour’s obscure disciplinary processes. But last week Abbott was unwillingly thrust into the media spotlight whenThe exact terms of Labour’s investigation are not in the public domain, but it surely boils down to some pretty simple binaries: either the party accepts her apology as genuine or it doesn’t; either the party believes her words in that letter were so grotesque as to be unforgivable, or it doesn’t.

No investigation was opened, the whip was never withdrawn, and Sheerman continued to sit as a Labour MP. Like Abbott, he transgressed, and promptly apologised. Corbyn later said, “I regret the pain this issue has caused the Jewish community and would wish to do nothing that would exacerbate or prolong it”, and clarified that “concerns about antisemitism are neither ‘exaggerated’ nor ‘overstated’. The point I wished to make was that the vast majority of Labour Party members were and remain committed antiracists deeply opposed to antisemitism”.
