Abbott claims Starmer tried to force her out of the Labour Party
DIANE ABBOTT claimed today she was treated as a “non-person” by Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer as part of a drive to force her and the left out of Parliament.
Ms Abbott, Britain’s first black female MP, told BBC Newsnight that her treatment was part of Sir Keir’s attempt to eliminate the left within the party.
Her claims come amid fresh revelations over the ways in which Sir Keir’s supporters worked to undermine and defeat his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn.
