This afternoon she said the ongoing, four-month-long investigation into her \u201cis fraudulent\u201d.<\/p>\n
Ms Abbott says she was told by the Labour Chief Whip to \u201cactively engage\u201d with the investigation, \u201cbut the Labour Whips are no long involved – it is now run entirely out of the Labour Party HQ, which reports to Keir Starmer\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no investigation\u201d.<\/p>\n
The longstanding Jeremy Corbyn ally argues \u201cothers have committed far more grave offences, and belated or grudging apologies have been wrung from them\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cYet they have been immediately excused as supporters of this leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n
