Labour suspends Diane Abbott over comments on Jewish prejudice.

The UK's Labour Party has suspended lawmaker Diane Abbott over a letter she wrote in which she said the prejudice experienced by Jewish people was similar to, but not the same as, racism. The party has faced accusations of discrimination and harassment against Jews under its former leader Jeremy Corbyn. Abbott, who has been a lawmaker since 1987, was the first Black woman to be elected to parliament in Britain, and is a close ally of Corbyn for whom she served as the party's spokesperson for home affairs.
