- Krishnan Guru-Murthy: ‘After days of speculation over her political future - the veteran MP Diane Abbott is ‘free to go forward’ as a Labour candidate in the general election, according to Sir Keir Starmer.
Ms Abbott was given back the Labour whip earlier this week, after the end of an internal inquiry into controversial remarks she had made about racism. In something of an about turn - Sir Keir described her as a ‘trailblazer’ who had forged a path for others to come into public life.’
😂😂😂 People can see 1 thing. Labour Party = K Starmer’s party.
She should stand independent or go back to the man who humiliated her .
Independent all the way. They have worse planned for her once/if she/they win the election.
He has lost the Muslim vote, loosing the Black vote too ,reveals his Toryness .
She sold out
Im Black Caribbean born here but unable to call myself a full citizen at the age of 59.
We accept anybody who will make our life a smidge easier, we are targets of both left and right come election time. Whomever we vote for we dont win and are tolerated.🤐
@@Noel-ji8nmIt isn’t Dianne Abbot who’s the sellout, it’s the current non socialist Labour leadership who are selling out the principles of the Labour Party. Dianne Abbot should quite rightly be running in the Labour Party like she has done for decades. She’s a true school Labour Party member & MP. ‘Starmers section of the Labour Party are the fraudulent sell outs.
yet will still win
@@alimantado373Not just you, over the last decade even the middle classes felt the squeeze. It's deliberate, systematic, neoliberalism.
This Diane Abbott saga is a disgrace and confirms without a doubt that Starmer is dishonest, not ruthless. He stands for nothing and has no value system that drives him as a leader. She should stand as an Independent and be free of him. It says something about the culture of the UK that with the destruction and degradation committed by the Tory party, Starmer cannot be elected without acting like them. As a result his government will be a little less chaotic and disruptive, but just as destructive as the Tories. If you love the UK, you should be in mourning right now. I’m sad about it. If you don’t like the UK, you’re observing this with glee and schadenfreude, thinking that karma is being served by this slow, unrelenting, often imperceptible slide into the abyss.
She publicly said racism towards Jews doesn't exist. If he kept her, they'd call him out for turning a blind eye against anti-Semitism. If she dismissed her, they'd say he's pushing out the left of the party. He can't win but should have held strong and pushed her out. He's caved to election, union and party pressure to bring her back.
The Abbot/Corbyn far-left crowd had their chance and they got us the worst election result in history. Starmer has a much more radical manifesto than his critics give him credit for, which is palatable to the British public, and has put Labour in the best position since 1997. If you support the centre-left as I do you will be cheering when he comes to power in July.
Really Starmer and labour offer absolutely nothing
They offer more than the Tories
Except, of course, Diane Abbott!
@@SJG-nr8uj Diane Abbott is (if you like it or not) someone who simply cannot be thrown out because she represents so much historically
@@barneypaws4883 And mathematically too!
@lastislandofhackers7027 Okay - IF THEY WANT TO WORK FOR THEMSELVES THEYLL WANT TO GET RE-ELECTED - WHICH MEANS THEY NEED TO MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSIONA AND IMPROVE THINGS OR THEYRE OUT AGAIN FOR 5-10 - SO THEYRE GOING TO IMPROVE THINGS - THEIR EXISTANCE AND ABILITY TO"WORK FOR THEMSELVES" DEPENDS ON IT - MORON
I still think Diane Abbott should stands as an independent socialist candidate, solidarity with Faiza Shaheen.
They could call it the Terrorist Sympathisers.
😂😂😂 It shouldn’t be about Diana or Shaheen. Don’t forget to first think about yourself. These politicians will always think about themselves first . Even going back to the man who humiliated them will be totally no problem with them . Think how a political party can benefit change your life for the better first .
@@zainzoala1083 nonsense. Starmer knows that Diane would win as an independent. No labour MP would win against Diane. That's the only reason he let her stand as labour. Starmers mistreatment of Diane and Faiza is disgusting. Faiza will also win as an independent. No one is fooled by Starmer.
n@AbdulGhani-vm6oq Exactly he's seeing what's happening with Corbyn and knows Dianne would take away another labour seat as an independent.
Yes, she should stand as an independent, I agree. And lose
He hated having to say that ..he knows they will get thrashed if she stands for an independen.. she will win Hackney with or without labour
And they'll replace her if she wins with labour.
Stand as an independent Diane.
The labour party is dead.
Kier Starmer is a very dishonest person and I despair him being at the helm. I cannot, in good conscience, vote for Labour anymore and being in a marginal seat, they (HE) will regret some of his actions.
Starmer underestimated the household value of Abbots name and dutifull service as an MP. He's sickening, and Faiza's lacking recognition has led to her despicable treatment.
I'm not so bothered about Diane Abbott, but his treatment of Faiza Shaheen has been despicable. Kier Starmer is the worst Labour leader in my lifetime, total disgrace. I am so angry at Labour, we desperately need an alternative to the Tories, but instead they actually seem to be worse.
Well, Kier and the Blairites are.
Sunak vs Starmer - It's like a choice of which piece of carrot you wanna eat from a puddle of sick.
Not bothered about the treatment of Abbott?
Both red and blue tories make me sick.
@@zeeone4492 I blame her, in part, for the failure of the Corbyn project. She just doesn't come across as likeable or competent.
I thought Corbyn should've sacked her, so I'm not exactly bothered if Starmer does it, but that doesn't make me hate Starmer any less.
The waffle she wrote in the observer was a bit more serious than faiza liking a John Stewart sketch from years ago 😂
@@chindit6784 yeah and it's not her first gaff. Abbot deserved to go, but Faiza Shaheen absolutely did not. Nor any of the other candidates who've been deselected in this purge as far as I can tell.
His pollsters probably thought he was losing too many black / women voters
Totally, they're quickly realising the mistake in their strategy and doing a u turn
Starmer's Labour is a disgrace. Abbott should stand as in independent.
He's a coward
Clearly...he folded like paper bag
After the way Diane has been treated, she should tell Starmer, shove it, i`m standing as an Independent.
Who cares who you're standing for? Diane has been a Labour MP for 37 years and has done Labour and her constituents proud she doesn't meed you pontificating about what she has chosen to do with her life.
@@chrisparnhamShe bottled it.
@@chrisparnham Hes right though, they will replace her when she keeps the seat.
@@chrisparnham That`s my opinion, get over yourself. I`m not standing as an Independent, it`s my opinion of what Diane should have told Starmer.
She's not the victim in this story. Are labour voters really this blind?
Wtf is with all these bots flooding every channel 4 video release
LOL Just Diane Abbott's supporters showing her solidarity.

In 5 years the Tories will be back and sell it off cheap to their mates.
Starmer takes a private jet from Wales to Scotland to endorse green power .
" It's not for Mee , tis for Thee , plebs "
Diane Abbott is neither an issue for Londoner nor for the people of this country !! *COST OF LIVING, HIGHER INTEREST RATES & NHS are the main issues* !!
Speak for yourself. I know many people who is an issue for. Your right on the other issues but you don't speak for everyone.
"Free" is an interesting word to use
Yes odd choice of words. He later mentioned he hadn’t spoken previously about this but this was his opinion. Which suggests nec incidental and it’s simply his opinion that counts. Nobody in media asking how Times got article from NEC .
Keir flip flops from talkin sbout Abbott, Corbyn and Shaheen as "needing the best possible candidates" to "its an independent process" the damage is already done for me. Its the sharp reality that they don't care about a progressive sustainable and ethical future its more of the same and they've lost my vote.
Call me mad, but I can see all this commotion giving her the momentum to become Prime Minister when Labour win the GE and ousting Starmer, that is how bizarre reality has become on this plant in the last few years in my opinion.
Exactly as I predicted. Starmer has thrown a wobbler because Abbott as an independent would win the seat from Labour which would be a slap in the face. Abbott should give Starmer the finger and stand as independent.
Giving a scooby snack when the whole house is haunted
If she had any shame for her racist remarks, she'd be feeling it.
Starmer says she is free to go forward... days after he said it was nothing to go with him. He has made himself look ridiculous.
Given her false claims in the last couple of days the local party should drop her.
Personally I think Labours been caught with their pants down and trying desperately to pull them back up again before anyone else see's who's hands were on them.
so sad just a bunch of windbags.No Thatcher by mile.
Take a shot anytime a Labour mp says "trailblazer' in regards to Abbottgate
She just doesn't want to give up the easy living on the Westminster gravy train. But she is not alone there, they've all got their snouts in the trough.
Real question is, why does she even want to stand for labour after what they've become...
i am pretty certain that the SNP have never proposed "great british energy" Ed.
First politician to wear 2 left shoes of different colours 😂😂
Labour letting racists to stand for parliament. Not the first time
Another troll whose knowledge comes from the gutter press and lacks any semblance of truth.
What’s the big deal about Diane?
No great HULLABALOO when JOHNSON purged the “one nation” Tories
THIS IS POLITICS . GET OVER IT !!!!
Utter madness that she can even be considered to run as an mp again. She's an absolute joke.
People have got a short-term memory. This woman is an absolute racist. Have people forgot what she said in the past
Abbot is a hypocrite
Racist, illiterate, innumerate, we can go on all day.
It doesn’t get anymore funnier than this! 😂 Labour definitely doesn’t have a chance getting in, thank god 😂😂 Reform here we come!!! 👍😃😃😃
What sane person would vote for her....
The brothers and sisters will vote for her!!!
Her people oviously

This shows that he will fold to any pressure from any direction on any subject. He should never be PM he's a back bencher .
What's the difference between Dianne Abbot and an archaeologist? 🤔
I am not going to be voting Labour anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter. But Diane Abbott and her incompetency and her race baiting was a pretty large reason I stopped supporting the Labour party. Hearing they were dropping her was the best thing they had promised so far. But typical Starmer and his reversing of decisions, of course she is back. 1st good thing Starmer has done has been reversed, his reputation for going back on himself is restored, my interest in Labour back to zero, not that my interest was that high even with Abbott gone.
Find another reason to not support Labour.
You sound like a Reform party voter
Reform Bot
@@flabe I have many
@@Pomegranate_David you have proven yourself to be a bad judge of character then
‘free to go forward’ ....... off a pier
Get rid
she should refuse to Stand for Labour and stand as an Independant instead after the way she was treated .
You're the third person on this comment section saying that. Have you no imagination or are you a Tory stooge like the other two, upset that this is not a problem you can get your pals in the Tory press to make trouble with any longer?
Surprised the Imbecile can stand, wearing 2 right shoes.
She deserved her suspension for her racist remarks. She's made her position clear for years - she's anti white, and has no place in British politics.
Old Abacus Abbott should just retire gracefully
How can anyone in their right mind trust labour. A human rights lawyer who can’t call it out when basic essentials are withheld …..food, water and power. Sir Kid Starver…. Do you really believe that he cares for the British people, his loyalty is elsewhere!!!
So it's OK for a racist to stand as a mp? Does that go for all racists
A trailblazer.......😂😂😂
Labour tories or diane Abbott it doesn't matter your living standards are going to drop off a cliff
I thought Starmer was purging Labour of racists like Abbott
How is this woman still alive!?!!! It was all over the news last year that she was shot. It’s a miracle!
I am your grandpa from Yemen and I plead with you to send fresh water, rizla papers, plastic bottles of any kind 😇

SO MANY BOTS UNDER NEWS CHANNELS.
Terrifying. A reason to vote anything but labour right there.
Leave her to destroy the labour party
She is definitely the most incompetent MP ever.
As incompetent as Netanyahu?😂
@@Pomegranate_David He has rid the world of many islamic terrorists so I can't agree with you there.
No, that was Truss.
We have a lot of them in Scotland,we a run by a bunch of clowns.
She should tell stamer to stick it where the sun dont shine with his approval. Then she shou stand as an independent and debrived labour a parliamentary seat
You either don't care, don't know, or approve, of Diane's remarks. All of which I find reprehensible.
I think independent candidates will really excel in the following election unfortunately as too many people trust the labour party right now. They will f things up and then we can talk about real revolution.
Ed Miliband shilling for the vaccine ffs
she played her race card & won,
No it was her history of her constituency card you muppet.
" Chairman Mao did more good than harm" - Diane Abbott
A leader must get ahead of the game, otherwise he's a backroom general. Sadly, Keir Starmer hasn't, and lacks the vision to know where to position himself, because the rifts have reopened with the restoration of his Hackney hacks. I thought he had a huge superfluity of candidates, so why has he reopened the door to them? Oh yes, he's one.
I'm looking forward to the amusing gaffes, that are sure to follow
The best comedian ever.
Just what we need. Good luck Hackney 😂😂😂
Who believes Diane s situation is sorted out by one sternly explanation!
Hope she runs as an independent, and wins.
Thanks for posting
She should stand as independent after this. Or just retire, she's had her day and Starmer hates her anyway.
Fantastic dianne abbott supporting reform party
They will need a dam good mathematician.
How are we surprised at this.... The is no depths of cowardice Starmer will not stoop to. Weird for us Hackney resident's , as in the past 30 + yrs you can never find a single person you chat with who admits voting for her.
Then you didnt ask anyone !
What a muppet !
I've seen plenty of videos of people that wholeheartedly support her from her constituency.
@@Pomegranate_David Name me 5 ?
She should have some pride and leave the labour party and stand as an independent and take the black vote with her.
She is a liability for the labour party, so many gaffs and racist remarks over the years, she could cost them the election, and that's why they didn't want her standing plain and simple
The woman has not lost her seat...How's she gonna lose Labour the election?
How about kid Starver standing with the working person 💪
@@lolazal1any labour candidate would win that seat
You are misinformed. She has won that seat since 1987.
She should say stick it to Starmer and stand as Independent or stand for the Workers Party if George Galloway agrees.
A section on the energy revolution and the environmental crisis but no mention of the GREEN party? Come on C4...
What a wimp.
It is a great idea, but whether wind or solar power or tidal power can ever supply more than a fraction of Britain’s energy remains to be seen. And whether it can supply developing countries with sufficient energy is even more doubtful given their huge populations, especially China and India.
I've got to hand it to her She played a blinder with that racecard 🤫
Yes, issues abound. The shirt (too big), the tie (just ignore), the jacket (clearly) borrowed for the broadcast, the hair (just reward the effort), the commentary (why bother?).
😂😂 same old flip-flop Starmer he may promote her to the chancellor of the exchequer 😂😂😂 we wouldn't be able to afford a packet of crisps never mind feed our families
She is in the labour party, then she is out, in, out in out and shaking it all about?
Diane should just stand as an independent
I feel a Jonathon Pie coming on…
Is that a wig
Hey Starmer make her chancellor
Christ, imgine that 🤦♂
Didgusting! Click bait. They talk about diane abbot for JUST 1 minute. Then it is all about labour election manifesto. I know why i stopped watching anything channel 4 or main tv channels like bbc.
can she cry racism until she is queen ?
Add popcorn to shopping list
Looking forward to seeing Andrew Neil on times radio grill Keir Starmer. Hopefully about
his Mr unity /Jeremy Corbyn admiring/ centre left - I stand with the striking mine worker/protests campaign video - ticket he won leadership on vs his transformation into a ruthless, centreist Blairite& purger of the Left
Well shatever one thinks about Diane Abbott she shure has Personal Personality , unlike most of the Political Classes ; Dianne sincerely believes in her way and beliefs , not mirrored by her fellow Politcians
I am your brother from Yemen...
The J lobby realised their guy woukdnt keep her seat.
Absolute tragedy if Labour get in. Thick as mince the lot of them.
Who are you voting for?
@@Pomegranate_David I don`t know. the tories are dreadful but marginally better than Labour, but I dont want to vote for either. That leaves Reform who don`t have what it takes to win a general election this time around. However if they get enough votes they will knock the tories into third place for the next election in four years time and probably go on to win. It`s what damage Labour will do in a four year term. And if Reform don`t get in next time I can see us becoming an Islamic state within the next ten years as both Labour and the tories will allow sectarian voting.
He sounds like hes deaf and ironically he's acting like he's deaf
Trailblazer😂😂😂
Stand for labour? Lucky them!
I'm voting for green party
She would be doing herself a dishonour to stand for a party that’s persecuted her.
Starmer should be called Stalin instead.
Hinkley point C will be a new power station at a cost well, well above what was predicted and i believe EDF own it for now! Electricity companies change hands often as do governments but the tax payer stays the same, just a thought...
