The Hackney North and Stoke Newington MP said the Labour leadership “wants me out” and that her comments in a BBC interview released this week were “factually correct”.
It comes a day after Sir Keir Starmer stripped the whip from four Labour MPs for persistent breaches of discipline.

— Diane Abbott (@HackneyAbbott) July 17, 2025She apologised for those remarks at the time and was eventually readmitted to the party just in time to stand as a Labour candidate in the 2024 general election.
“Diane Abbott has been administratively suspended from the Labour Party, pending an investigation. We cannot comment further while this investigation is ongoing,” a Labour spokesperson said.
“It is obvious this Labour leadership wants me out.
The original comments in 2023 were in a letter to The Observer newspaper, and she withdrew the remarks the same day and apologised “for any anguish caused”.
“No, not at all,” she said.
“You don’t know unless you stop to speak to them or you’re in a meeting with them.
She added: “I just think that it’s silly to try and claim that racism which is about skin colour is the same as other types of racism.”
Rachael Maskell, who spearheaded plans to halt the Government’s welfare reforms, had the whip suspended alongside Neil Duncan-Jordan, Brian Leishman and Chris Hinchliff.
