She’s said something similar before. She is a continual liability these days
No she didn't. She was saying that racism is different for different groups: some being skin colour, others being religion. Her point was that Jews and others experiencing race hate experience it in different ways. For black people it is immediately apparent, for others it is less so. I am finding Starmer increasingly unpalatable
She can only comment with total accuracy on her own experience of race hate, and isn’t qualified to comment on somebody else’s experience.
Anyone can comment on racism. Whether they experience it or not. The issue is does she have a point? I'm inclined to think she does. The other point is should she be suspended from the Labour Party because of it? I don't believe she should. Starmer is going to run out of Labour enemies at this rate.
You can comment but you can only comment on an experience with any validity if it is an experience you’ve had.
Agree, she shouldn’t be kicked out for saying that.
I find her standing by a comment, for which she has previously retracted and apologised for making, somewhat contradictory. Surely her apology wasn't just a ruse before an election and lacking in sincerity?
She's a racist pig pure and simple
Now frees her up to join that other racist Corbyn's new party.
That shouldn't be hard the Lib Dems and Greens are doing far more damage to Labour than Reform and for the record Abbott spoke the truth using nuance which doesn't go down well these days.
Who for? If she stands as an independent MP at the next election she'll wipe the floor with them as Corbyn did. All Starmer has achieved is one less seat at the next election which he can't afford.
Mainly the press I was referring to
No she isn't, give over.
Really?
She hasn't been sacked yet and can't be. Her comments are not racist except to racists. Starmer can expel her if he wants to look stupid and lose support but you know what? I find it curious that lifelong anti racists get called racist by racists when it suits an agenda.
She’s been suspended from the Labour Party what more evidence do you want?
She was suspended before but reinstated and that's some agism you've got going there. He can expel her but so what? She'll just join Corbyn's Raisin party or whatever it's called. She is also a very popular and successful MP, as is Corbyn. Don't believe the hype.
She deserves Corbyn 2 peas in the same pod.
I think she's clutching at straws. This was all about something she said a couple of years ago and she chose to resurrect the matter again. When asked she should have just not answered the question in the manner she did.
