Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell have led an anti-hate protest to the Home Office - as demonstrators march in support of Diane Abbott after she was targeted for 'abuse' by a Tory donor. Loud cheers broke out as Labour MP John McDonnell, who was shadow chancellor under Jeremy Corbyn, told the crowd "I am here today in solidarity with my friend, my colleague, my comrade, Diane Abbott.

It's not easy hearing about the things that have been said about me."But as many black people can testify, it's not just the racist incident that's hard to endure, it's the institutional, systemic and structural racism that follows it."This isn't about me. This is about the level of racism that exists today.
