Abbott, the UK’s first female Black MP, currently sits as an independent after she was suspended from the parliamentary Labour party last year.Abbott had the party whip withdrawn after she suggested Jewish, Irish and Traveller people had never been “subject to racism”.Abbott said: “Owolade claims that Irish, Jewish and Traveller people all suffer from ‘racism’
“But they are not all their lives subject to racism. In pre-civil rights America, Irish people, Jewish people and Travellers were not required to sit at the back of the bus. ’I wish to wholly and unreservedly withdraw my remarks and disassociate myself from them,” she said at the time. “Once again, I would likely to apologise publicly for the remarks and any distress caused as a result of them.”The suspension means Abbott is not eligible to stand as the Labour candidate in the east London seat she has held since 1987 at the upcoming general election, unless she is re-instated before it is called.Hester allegedly said in 2019 that Abbott made him “want to hate all black women” and that she “should be shot”.
