MPs talked about racism toward Diane Abbott today – except for Diane Abbott, who couldn’t get a word in for herself, despite wearing an eye-catching red jacket…One of the many times Diane Abbott stood to speakr today – in a bright red jacket in a sea of blue – and was ignoredDuring Prime Minister’s Questions today, MPs discussed the appalling racism toward Diane Abbott, Britain’s first Black woman MP, by the Tories’ biggest donor. Perhaps Hoyle was worried Ms Abbott would point this out. Yet he doesn't allow Diane Abbott to question the PM who is saying an apology from a man who called for her to be shot should be accepted. Not the PM's right to accept any apology it's up to Diane Abbott. pic.twitter.com/EuXwyiZvLh — Saul Staniforth (@SaulStaniforth) May 31, 2022Skwawkbox is attempting to reach Ms Abbott for comment.
