Diane Abbott Accuses Keir Starmer of Marginalizing Her Amid Racism Controversy

Abbott claims Starmer's allies sought her removal, citing lack of support during threats from Tory donor.

Diane Abbott alleges Keir Starmer treated her as a 'non-person' during a race row involving Tory donor Frank Hester.
Hester reportedly made derogatory comments about Abbott, saying she made him want to 'hate all Black women' and that she 'should be shot.'
Abbott says she received more support from the SNP leader than from her own party amid the threats.
The Labour Party suspended Abbott in 2023 over comments on racism, which she claims was used as an excuse to push her out.
Labour spokesperson denies any plan to force Abbott out, stating Starmer has great respect for her and condemns Hester's comments.
