Keir Starmer’s misogynoir over Diane Abbott is showing again
CanaryFEB 2024
Labour's treatment of one of the country's most important trailblazers has been disgraceful, as Starmer works to stamp out any left-wing opposition to his centrist policies. While Labour is almost certain to win the next election, they will have done so by trampling on the work of their most loyal and popular figures. Starmer's treatment of Abbott is downright disgraceful.
Diane Abbott lived by the progressive, woke sword, and now her political career will die by it. Abbott endorsed the odious racial hierarchies of oppression so dear to the left and told the world that Jews don't rank highly enough on it to be truly discriminated against. Her comments were antisemitic and wrong, and Labour is right to begin purging the endemic antisemitsm that festers in their midst.
There is a 99% chance that Labour will have a majority in the House of Commons after the next UK General Election, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
