Diane Abbott's comments were antisemitic, Labour leader Keir Starmer says
Diane Abbott has apologised and withdrawn remarks she made in a letter published in a newspaper
Sir Keir said that the swiftness with which the MP had had the whip removed demonstrated "how far the Labour party has changed" and that Labour has "zero tolerance" of antisemitism. Suspending the whip means Ms Abbott will not be allowed to represent Labour in the House of Commons, where she will now sit as an independent MP.
Sir Keir vowed to "root out" antisemitism within Labour after complaints of Jewish prejudice dogged the party under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn.
