BRITAIN’S first black female MP received rapturous applause from Labour members as she slammed the Tories for trying to win votes with “dog-whistle racism,” adding: “Haters gonna hate.”

Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott also attacked the government’s record on policing, telling her party’s conference yesterday: “The Tories are insulting our intelligence if they think the public will simply forget who caused this crisis of law and order.”

Ms Abbott tore into the Tory government’s handling of violent crime and its “chaotic” immigration policies.
