So let me get this straight. It marks one out as a paragon of virtue and good grace and is particularly noteworthy when you forgo a redundancy payment of £16000 for a job that you held for approx 36 hrs? And the country should be grateful for this act of benevolence?

As their feud grows, rapper Ice-T is currently liking comments on Instagram which accuse Labour leader Keir Starmer of being a paedophile, enabling Jimmy Savile, sabotaging Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership at the behest of the Israel lobby, and having “[dropped] N bombs in private”. pic.twitter.com/GYOF6ncieo— Women for Wes (@Women4Wes) March 7, 2024

Anderson is a stooge designed to take hear from the Tories and I wouldn't be surprised if he has a plan of this kind with some Tory election guru. Similar to the deal with Farage's last party to stand down in 2019. It's all such a pathetic, transparent pantomime.

Statement regarding recent media reports:Frank Hester accepts that he was rude about Diane Abbot in a private meeting several years ago but his criticism had nothing to do with her gender nor colour of skin. The Guardian is right when it quotes Frank saying he abhors racism, not least because he experienced it as the child of Irish immigrants in the 1970’s. He rang Diane Abbott twice today to try to apologise directly for the hurt he has caused her, and is deeply sorry for his remarks. He wishes to make it clear that he regards racism as a poison which has no place in public life.

A shake of the head from Diane Abbott as the Speaker calls the final question - indicating she will not be called.
The Commons has had an extensive conversation about Abbott, without hearing from the Independent MP herself — despite her clear desire to speak.
As PMQs finishes, both Stephen Flynn, the SNP Westminster leader, and Keir Starmer have gone to the back of the chamber to talk to her, as have a succession of Labour backbenchers.
― nashwan, Wednesday, 13 March 2024 12:47 (eight months ago) link
Couldn't have her speak over this important business
Tory MP Sir Edward Leigh asks the PM whether he agrees that there is only one party that has "the will, the inclination and the determination to stop mass illegal and legal migration - and that is the Conservative Party!"
"Let's unite our movement and do that!" he exclaims to loud cheers.
Rishi Sunak responds by saying he agrees with Leigh, and attacks the Labour Party saying that Keir Starmer would scrap an immigration policy "even when it was implemented and working".

Sounds about right
Its obvious why. Labour have treated her as badly as any tory donor. That is an entire report by a KC about starmer's party's racism, and it specifically mentions the treatment of Diane Abbot.Allowing her to talk would lead to embarrassment for starmer, so it was prevented.— vob (@voblat) March 13, 2024
