Labour's Investigation into Diane Abbott Concluded Five Months Ago, Decision on Reinstatement Pending
May 28, 2024, 07:14 AM
The Labour Party's investigation into suspended MP Diane Abbott concluded five months ago, according to multiple sources. Abbott was given a formal warning in December 2023 and completed an online anti-Semitism course in February 2024. Despite this, she has not been informed whether she can stand as a Labour candidate or if the party whip will be restored. There are speculations that she might be allowed back if she agrees to step down. The delay in resolving her status has drawn criticism, with some alleging that the Labour leadership, under Keir Starmer, is attempting to force Britain's first Black woman MP out of Parliament. Momentum has reacted strongly to the delay, calling it 'outrageous news.'
