re #DianneAbbot - as far as I can tell the issue is why the whip wasn't restored in a timely fashion (ie February/March)

Some may recall the Equalities & Human Rights Commission scolding Labour a few years ago. IIRC The EHRC gave six examples of concern, 3 where Labour failed to fairly treat people who had been subject to racism and 3 where the party failed to fairly treat people accused of racism - it was the latter 3 that the EHRC considered to have crossed the line into potential illegality.

Got to say, I think if your philosophy rates the racism that leads being gassed in a genocide with the sort of predudice ginger people face you need to get a new philosophy.

The ghost of my late uncle #BrianSedgemore, former MP for Hackney South and Shoreditch, the constituency neighbouring that of #DianneAbbot, is currently dancing a jig.

Brian had the measure of Abbott way back.
