VETERAN Labour MP Diane Abbott has highlighted the police killing of Chris Kaba and other black lives at a time of national mourning.
Writing in the Morning Star today, the former shadow home secretary said it was important to reflect that there is “no hierarchy when it comes to the value of life” as the period of mourning for the late Queen paralyses the country.
