Starmer sinks to a new low
Labour Party leader Keir Starmer delivers a speech to supporters, members and local people during his visit to Lancing in West Sussex, while on the General Election campaign trail, May 27, 2024
IS SHE, isn’t she, will she, won’t she … the scandalous treatment meted out to Diane Abbott by Keir Starmer and his bogus “new brooms” is a warning to the labour movement of what is to come.
Her initial suspension from the Parliamentary Labour Party for drawing an unwise comparison between different targets of racism was disproportionate enough.
That the sham “independent” investigatory process into her offence apparently concluded last December, with the leader acting as though unaware of this position, defies belief.
