Labour's Potential Ban on Diane Abbott Sparks Racial Tensions

Diane Abbott, the U.K.'s first Black female lawmaker, expressed dismay over reports that the Labour Party plans to bar her from running in the upcoming election due to past comments about Jews and racism. Abbott, who has been a prominent figure in Parliament since 1987, was suspended last year after controversial remarks in a letter to the Observer. Despite her apology, she remains barred, sparking criticism from supporters and raising concerns about the treatment of Black politicians within the party.
