Abbott's statement was inartfully expressed, but the simple fact is that the response to it has demonstrated the substantive point in the statement unequivocally. There very much is a hierarchy of attitudes to racism in the Labour party, not least because Starmer is a racist (and anti-Semitic, not incidentally). Starmer has turned the party from a party accused of having an anti-Semitism problem into a vehicle for anti-Semitism and every other kind of bigotry. Disgusting.

It really is a stupid move by Starmer. I understand he wishes to distance himself from any claims of antisemitism, but honestly it makes him look like he didn't get the BLM message. Some people said Abbott's comments were ill informed or not considered, but I disagree. I think she was right in her statement that having an obvious visible difference such as being black is different from other forms of non-visible minority membership. I just do not think it is appropriate to essentially silence an important black UK figure - it's the Labour party not the catholic church. What even is Labour without solidarity?
