    Well of course they do. She’s too left wing for Keir’s right wing party.

    Take the hint that they don’t want you Diane and join Corbyn and Sultana in making a genuine left wing labour party. Fuck the red Tories, let their party bleed.

    If enough jump ship they might finally take the hint that pandering to Reform and the far right, when they’re meant to be the party of unions and the working class, is fucking moronic and traitorous.

      He wouldn’t take the hint if Donald Trump presented it to him in a bow.

      He will lose elections before taking such hints.

      PLP may not let him get that far. But honestly, he has removed enough non-loyal. Even that is far from probable.

      If the UK, left wants a left of centre party. Unifying around another one is the only option. But given the lefts refusal to unify. And the main parties love of FPTP. Next election, a Tory reform coalition is looking most likely. Followed by a divergence towards far right ideals for the next few decades.

      While 60% of voters, from centre of left. Are totally ignored.

      Well of course they do. She’s too left wing for Keir’s right wing party.

      She’s not that left in my view, maybe I just missed it but I’ve never seen her advocating for actual important left wing issues.

      So I asked copilot, which issues does diane abbot advocate for, and it’s basically just social justice stuff. Which is important, don’t get me wrong but the biggest social justice issue is wealth inequality and class which she barely talks about.

      I don’t see any evidence that she’s advocated for some other system but neo liberal capitalism, just friendlier to women and minorities.

      Even then she’s managed to put her foot in it over and over as well as outright racist comments that she’s made.

      So to be honest, as a leftie, I hope they keep her and any left wing alternative stays away. She’s nothing but a liability and in all honesty she needs to just retire and fuck off. She’s 71, she’s too old, got no ideas and when you get down to it. she’s racist herself.

      Let Labour keep her, please.

    Well they should. Not only is she a liability, but she’s also a racist.

    Nobody should want her in their party.

    Honestly this is just sad. I feel like she’s trying to be ousted for some juicy headlines, before joining the Sultana/Corbyn/Muslim independents party.

    Why else would she randomly, 1 year later, after apologising for making racist remarks, say “nah actually I meant every word and my apology was a lie”, coincidentally at the same time that news of the aforementioned party above has been in the news?

    E: are people under the impression she’s not racist? Lmao
