Diane Abbott sorry after suggesting that Jews don’t face racism
Conservative deputy chairman Lee Anderson has brutally mocked attempts by leftwingers at Labour’s conference in Liverpool to force Sir Keir Starmer to allow Corbynista Diane Abbott back into the parliamentary party.
The hard-left MP for Hackney North who was Jeremy Corbyn’s Shadow Home Secretary was thrown out after she sent an anti-Semitic letter to the Guardian claiming Jews don’t face racism.
Despite the attacks on Israel by Hamas terrorists and the slaughter of hundreds of Jews, leftwing campaigners have been pushing for Abbott to be allowed to take the Labour whip again in Parliament.
But Mr Anderson, a former Labour Party activist who has become an iconic figure in the Conservative Party, was all in favour of the gaffe-prone hard-left MP to be allowed back.
He posted a mocking post on X this morning at the prospect of Ms Abbott rejoining Labour.

Linking in the article from the Guardian calling for Ms Abbott to have the whip restored, Mr Anderson posted: “Go for it! I could do with another five years.”
Mr Anderson left Labour at the height of the Jeremy Corbyn leadership and was soon elected a Tory MP for Ashfield, a seat which had once been safe for Labour.
Ms Abbott was seen as a key figure in the disastrous Corbyn leadership and became infamous for her gaffes.
As well as claiming white people like Jews could not face racism, she once in 2008 stated that brutal Chinese dictator Chairman Mao “did more good than harm”.
In 2012, she tweeted that cabbies in London were racist.

In 2019 she landed in trouble drinking mojito on the London Underground.
And she also had her infamous car crash interview on LBC where her figures for new police officers ranged from £300,000 to £80million.
Despite all this party activists have been staging protests at Labour’s conference in Liverpool for her to be a Labour MP again.
Currently, Ms Abbott is sitting as an independent.
The campaign is being pushed by the hard-left group Momentum.
Kingsley Abrams, general secretary of Momentum’s black caucus, told the Guardian: “Let’s be clear, she should never have written the things she did. But she has apologised and people are shocked that this inquiry has taken so long. Diane has spent much of her life campaigning against racism.”
