Diane Abbott suspended from Labour Party
Diane Abbott has been suspended from the Labour Party pending an investigation.
A party spokesperson confirmed the suspension but did not give a reason why.
It comes after the veteran MP defended previous comments about racism which led to a year-long suspension. She was readmitted back into the party just before last year’s general election.
A Labour Party spokesperson said: “Diane Abbott has been administratively suspended from the Labour Party, pending an investigation. We cannot comment further while this investigation is ongoing.”
