Diane Abbott has had the Labour whip suspended after comments she made suggesting Jewish, Irish and Traveller people are not subject to racism “all their lives”.
Ms Abbott wrote in a letter in The Observer that although white people “with points of difference” suffer prejudice, they have not suffered the same racism as black people.
Labour confirmed that the whip has been suspended from her pending an investigation into the letter.
TalkTV’s Mike Graham clashes with Tony Blair’s former adviser John McTernan over Ms Abbott’s suspension.
John tells Mike: "She said something crass and offensive and she withdrew it."
Mike counters: “She didn’t withdraw it, John, she published it in her name! It’s not good enough.”
