Diane Abbott, the UK's longest-serving female Labour MP, has been suspended from the Labour Party for a second time following comments she made about racism. Abbott defended her previous remarks from 2023, in which she questioned whether Jewish, Traveller, and Irish communities suffer from racism in the same way as Black people, a stance that initially led to a year-long suspension. Despite her reinstatement, Abbott reiterated her position that Jews experience racism differently from Black people and described it as "silly" to equate the two. The Labour Party has stated it is taking her recent comments "incredibly seriously" and has administratively suspended her pending an investigation. Deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner expressed disappointment at Abbott's defense of her earlier comments. Abbott has suggested the current Labour leadership wants her out of the party, a claim rejected by Treasury Minister James Murray. The suspension reflects Labour's effort to maintain consistency in addressing allegations of antisemitism and racism within the party.
