Minister denies Labour wants Diane Abbott out of party

A government minister rejected Diane Abbott’s claim that the workers’ leadership wanted from the party after the second time was suspended on racism.

Treasury Minister James Murray, “absolutely not like that,” said the number 10 Abbott said he wanted to remove.

Experienced left wing player has been suspended with labor before 2023 letters to a newspaper The Jewish people, the Jewish people, Irish people and travelers lived in the “prejudice” racism “all their lives” said.

After the criticism of the Jewish and traveler groups, he apologized for these statements and returned to the party after a long suspension.

The last suspension was requested from an interview with James Naughtie, which was released on Thursday, and said he did not regret the 2023 incident.

“This is clear that this workers’ leadership wants me,” Hackney North and Stoke Newington said.

Speaking in the Today’s Today’s Today, Murray said that the Labor Party followed the “standard process”.

He added that there is an internal investigation and “now we have to allow this process to play”, so “can be solved as quickly as possible”

Authority, “Respect for Dianne” ministers should be allowed to continue the investigation without intervening, he added.

In an interview with Naughtie, which was recorded in May for the new series of BBC Radio 4, Abbott said, “Obviously, there must be a difference between racism about color and other types of racism, because you can see a traveler or a Jewish person walking on the street.

“You don’t know unless you stop talking to them or you’re not at a meeting with them.

“But if you see a black person walking on the street, you will see that they are black. Different types of racism.”

“I think it is stupid to claim that racism is the same as other types of racism.”

“My comments with James Naughtie in the interview with James Naughtie would actually accept as any fair -minded person would accept,” Abbott said in a short statement to BBC Newsnight.

Abbott also released an online clip of the BBC interview after the news about the suspension: “This is my interview clip.”

The latest suspension means that Hackney North and Stoke Newington deputy will sit as an independent deputy known as the loss of whip that continues to expect an investigation into his statements.

Worker, “this investigation continues,” he said he would not comment.

Jacqueline McKenzie, a partner of Leigh Day, Leigh Day’s partner and Abbott’s friend, said that MPs have been “armed” against someone who has spent most of the working life of the deputies, including anti -Semitism.

McKenzie said BBC Radio London Abbott “touches on an important point” about the race.

In his last interview, McKenzie said in his last interview that Abbott was “apologizing” because he caused crime, but in his belief that racism is different by different groups.

On Thursday, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said to the Guardian newspaper: “There is no place for anti -Semitism in the Labor Party, and obviously the Labor Party has processes for this.

“Diane reflected how it brought this article together, and ‘it didn’t have to be a version’ and now I endured in half and ‘good, actually I didn’t mean it. In fact, I mean what I said at the beginning’, I think it’s a real challenge.”

Abbott was mostly defended by Richard Burgon and Ian Lavery and a few workers from the left of the party, including the former workers’ Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, who is now independently sitting independently.

In the BBC interview, Abbott was asked that he would not condemn someone as racist behavior against someone because of the color of his skin.

“Of course, and I am a little tired of people trying to fix the antisemitic label to me because to combat all kinds of lifelong racism and especially anti -Semitism, partly due to the nature of my election region.”

Abbott is a female deputy for the longest service in Commons, which entered parliament in 1987.

In a BBC interview, he said he was “grateful” to become a worker deputy, but his party leadership was sure that he was “trying to get me out”.

A Investigation on 2022 Labor Party Senior lawyer Martin Forde KC, anti -Semitism found investigations in the CL objectives.

In the report, he heard that Labour’s factionalism has slowed down disciplinary investigations and that administrative suspension is sometimes used strategically to prevent individuals from standing in elections or internal positions.
