A row broke out within the U.K. Opposition Labour Party ranks today as conflicting versions emerged regarding the electoral prospects of the country’s first Black Woman member of Parliament after an internal disciplinary procedure.
Diane Abbott, first elected to Parliament in 1987 as M.P. for Hackney North and Stoke Newington in East London, claimed she had been barred from seeking re-election from the seat as a Labour Candidate.
It came after her suspension was lifted this week following an investigation over her controversial remarks about the levels of racism faced by different communities.
