Britain’s parliamentA government minister has rejected the claim of Dianne Abbott that the labor leadership wants to exclude it from the party after being suspended for a second time on the comments about racism.
Treasury Minister James Murray said that this “no case” wanted to remove number 10 Abbott.
The veteran leftist MP was suspended this week after saying that he did not see “all” regret in 2023 in the events around his first suspension.
That suspension was motivated A letter to a newspaper In which he said that colorful people experienced racism “all their lives”, which was different from the “prejudice” experienced by Jewish people, Irish people and travelers.
He apologized for those comments at that time after criticizing the Jewish and passenger groups and the party was read from time to time as a labor candidate in last year’s general election.
After its latest suspension, Haikney North and Stoke Newington MP stated that “it is clear that this labor leadership wants to exclude me”.
Speaking on the Radio 4’s Today program, Murray said that the labor was following the “standard process”.
He said that there was an internal investigation and “we now need to play the process” so it can be resolved “as fast as possible”
He said that the “honor for honor” investigation should be allowed to continue without the intervention of the ministers.
In his interview with Naughtie, which was recorded for a new series of reflections of BBC Radio 4 in May, Abbott said: “Clearly, there should be a difference between racism that is about color and other types of racism, because you can see a passenger or a Jewish person walking on the road, you don’t know.
“You don’t know that until you stop talking to them or you are in a meeting with them.
“But if you see a black person walking on the road, you look directly that they are black. They are different types of racism.”
He said: “I think it is foolish to try and claim that racism that is about skin color is similar to other types of racism.”
In a brief statement issued to BBC Newsnight, Abbott said: “My comment in the interview with James Noti was factually correct, as any fair person would accept.”
Abbott also posted a clip of his BBC interview online after the news of his suspension, just writing: “This is my interview clip.”
The latest suspension means that Hacani North and Stoke Newington MPs will sit as an independent MP, known as a whip, a probe is pending in its comment.
Labor said it would not comment “while this investigation is on”.
Jacqueline McKenzie, a partner in Law firm Leh Day, and Abbut’s friend, said that the words of MPs are “weapons” against someone who has spent most of his time of working life, fighting racism, fighting, including antismitism “.
McKenzie reported that the BBC Radio was “making an important point” about the London Abbott race.
McKenzie said that in his latest interview, Abbott was “apologizing” for creating a crime but stood by his confidence that racism was experienced by different groups.
On Thursday, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rener told the Guardian newspaper: “The labor party has no place for antismitism, and obviously the Labor Party has processes for this.
“Daini reflected how she puts that article together, and said ‘version was not considered’, and now to double and ‘Okay, really I didn’t mean it. I really mean what I had originally said is a real challenge.”
Abbott is defended by several labor MPs, mostly from the left side of the party, including Bell Rebero -AD, Richard Bergon and Ian Lavari, as well as former Labor Shadow Chancellor John McDonal – who now sit as an independent.
In her BBC interview, Abbott was asked if she would condemn the antisementic behavior in the same way that she would behave racist against someone due to her skin color.
He replied: “Okay, and I am a little tired of those who are trying to pin antisemitic labels on me because I have spent fighting all kinds of racism throughout my life and in particularly fighting antisemitism, partly due to the nature of my constituency.”
Abbott is the longest serving female MP in Commons, who entered Parliament in 1987.
She said she was “grateful” to be a Labor MP in the BBC interview, but she was sure that the party’s leadership was “trying to take me out”.
A Investigation at 2022 labor party Senior advocate Martin Ford Casey found that the CL objectives of antisemitism were often given more necessary attention.
The report stated that Labor’s facility slowed down the disciplinary investigation and heard that the allegations were used strategically to block individuals from the administrative suspension sometimes standing in elections or internal positions.
