James O’Brien examines Diane Abbott’s legacy after the former shadow home secretary was suspended by the party for the second time.
Abbott had the whip removed two years ago after claiming that Irish, Jewish and Traveller people “undoubtedly experience prejudice” that is “similar to racism.”
But she added at the time: “It is true that many types of white people with points of difference, such as redheads, can experience this prejudice. But they are not all their lives subject to racism.”
This week, Ms Abbott was asked if she regrets the comments to which she replied, “no, not at all.”
