Chris Mason: Why Labour had little choice but to suspend Diane Abbott again

Labour has had to suspend MP Diane Abbott once again due to recent comments related to racism and antisemitism. Abbott's lack of regret for previous remarks equating antisemitism to prejudice against people with ginger hair led to her reinstated suspension. This move aligns with Labour's firm stance against antisemitism following past controversies under former leader Jeremy Corbyn, highlighting the party's commitment to addressing such issues. Abbott, a pioneering figure in British politics, now finds herself as an independent MP amidst ongoing political turmoil.
