Labour’s Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury has spoken to Sky News about the controversy over a letter written by Diane Abbott, who suggested that Jewish people and GRT people don’t face racism.
Pat McFadden said: “I can’t put myself in her mind, I can only express a view on what she wrote, which was wrong.”
First though, Mr McFadden talked about the situation in Sudan and the UK citizens still left there.

9 Sitting councillors (all Hindus) 1:09 deselected by the Leicester Labour Party in favour of non Hindus.Racism is RAMPANT in Labour Party.
Anti Jewish and anti Hindu lobby is at work in the Labour Party. Nothing has changed under the new leadership. 😡
She was fine insulting people, until she insulted the wrong people.
Dianne Abbott is a Waste of Tax Payers Money, what has she done for this Country = Absolutely Nothing, Who the hell voted for her ?
There is a considered effort by many on the left today to minimize the Holocaust, make it a footnote in history.
Who takes this woman seriously anyway? She's clearly two olives short of a pizza.
Black people love abit of racism 🐵🐒
she is just a no good alcoholic who only has 2 brain cells to rub together
She's an absolute creature
Abbott is a racist, she has shown her hatred for white people and wants to divide the country.
She doesn't have any brain cells and should never have got into politics , I always question voting for a party with her in
I'm pleased that big mouth is now shut.
What ALL Politicians need to understand it ANYTHING they say or write WILL be taken at Face Value, so its a case of whatever a Politician says Will be manipulated by Media and at present Media seem to have spies everywhere
is she racist i don't know but one thing is for sure she is plain stupid.
I guess "McFadden" was fine when she was insulting English people, but insult the irish and he's suddenly aflame.
He’s not covering himself in glory this guy. The best thing he could of done here is give a straight answer
Why do we call people whips in parlement idk politics but that itself sounds imbedded in racism chief whip wtf
She is utterly useless
People think Diane Abbott' is dumb she is fare from it, She is calculating and trIE's to push the boundary's to its limit….
She's Labour's Coffey. Every time she opens her mouth something ugly comes out. Women have come so far, then there's people like this pair. Bye Diane, it's been a bloody long time coming.
Diane Abbott doesn't know what scale of racism that Jewish people have to deal with daily, she's not Jewish, six million Jews where gassed and murdered within living memory. Racism is not just something that happens to black people many people from different cultures and races including white people suffer prejudice towards themselves just because of who they are. The term racism does not belong to black people alone.
Did Shrek do something stupid again?
Maybe we should start by eradicating woke ideology from our schools so we don't raise a generation of Corbyns and Abbotts that view the world through the lens of race and victim hierarchies. Abbott can't bear to think she isn't at the top of the victim class
Divisions are driven by bigotry and Dianne Abbott has actually targeted less represented groups than the one she’s represented in the letter given the recent and ongoing public discourse. We are a nation dived if we don’t have base ideals.
It's nice to know her decades long racism and prejudice against white people and Britain gets ignored, tolerated and even given a platform by rags such as the Guardian, but only now when she made comments about other minorities does she finally get a snippet of what she deserves. If she was white and had the same racist bigotry but against black people she'd be in prison. But because she's black and hates white people she's had a career as an MP.
she did this on purpose she's a corbonite
He seems very level headed. Normally politicians are very theatrical and performative in their dialogue with the media but this guy has a great balance.
Stand down Diane Abbott.. my family won't be voting for labour unless she does!
Thank god that they got all of these white people on the news to talk about racism and why what she said was wrong.
In the meantime Andrew Edwards, a Conservative MP in Pembrokeshire said…
He believes black people are inferior & every white man & woman should own a slave.
But isn’t getting anywhere near the coverage Abbot is getting for simply pointing out…
IRISH – A nationality. JUDAISM – A religion. TRAVELLER – A culture/lifestyle.
Not a fan of Abbott and rarely agree with her, but I don’t like that non-conforming views are being purged from both parties. We’re going to be left with this centrist, globalist, soft-authoritarian, dogmatic blob that encompasses both parties and that we have no way of getting rid of.
She didn't say anything that isn't true.
I think black people should think very carefully about voting for the labour party. If she had said Jewsih people are them persecuted none would had bat an eyelid.
“Historically wrong” the woman’s a socialist so obviously she has no understanding of history 😂
This was always coming. Diane Abbott has a history of being a racist. This is the 3rd or 4th public statement she's made that is unambiguously racist.
Bye bye Abbott 😂 she over reached the black card, she should know the jew card trumps the black card. 😂
Come on sky? ……..dont get someone on TV who say errrr after every word its painful to listen to
It appears to be "work in progress" only for labour party? It's not the 1950's?
What's going on about the football shirt badges showing ships,was it Diane Abbott who said that they are slave ships,some miss informed idiot who once again is trying to cause bad feeling, but all it will do is inflame the fans,hands off our badges as there no racist,I say live for today and what's to come as we're only passing through.
Jews have never experienced 'racism' because they are WHITE people. They recieved hate from other white people who follow Christianity.
I thought the United States had a monopoly of people who are just plain stupid. I see it is pandemic.
It's absolutely right that she had distanced herself from her comment as her comment demonstrated error of judgement. As a strong campaigner against institutional racism, I'm careful about the use of language at all times.
so whats a race,, geneticly there can be more differance between people of the same so called race, and surely jewishness is a faith, what objectivly makes them differant to white europians, can farage rant against the percieved other at every opurtunity and not be racist, the whole subject is subjective and dependant on your politics no one states the facts
Funny how the racist in the Labour Party would not allow black section back in the 80's and got rid of Shoran Atkins and every other race and community has their section and are able to get at the good people who truly look out for equality I have a damage left hand that was done to me by a corrupt doctor on the 15th April 2014 has managed to keep corrupt police media and state officials and the justice system quite and discredit anyone who tries to make the case public. If there is anyone who believes in true justice get that doctor and the corrupt people involved to admit what they did and the lies and the cover up that they have instigated against a truly innocent person.
Why do certain sections of the community continually, desperately attempt to claim the "worst treated race" award?
If they spent more time taking the opportunities this country gives them rather than dreaming up reasons why they consistently fail, they might not consistently fail…
Diane is a political heavyweight and comedy legend. Strange how Jewish people are never criticised for their prejudice against the Germans.
Hi/
Dianna Abbott is the architect of her own misfortune, no respect for others, those who lived by the sword will die of it.
Contempt of House of commons rules v cutting-edge regulations in 2018 by PM.Theresa May.
Breached by Dianna Abbott & her audience created as INTEND against me . Perhaps lessons will now be learned for use. Arrogant people Thanks. G.Ajayi Snr as McKenzie
The spirit of the innocent met police officer who died @ Broadwater farm in 197..? will not be at rest without hunting Dianna Abbott down.
Cover up, delay tactics, manipulation of evidences against someone (Officer) who died on active service to the Nation. Thanks Engr.G.Ajayi Snr as McKenzie 26/4/23
Note how he carefully omits colour when saying all people should be treated equally. Abbott was clearly saying that past treatment of specifically black people was significantly worse than any other racial group. That is nonsense and can be fairly called a racist statement. There were people that were in slave labour and worked to death in Europe in the 1940s. They were not black they were Caucasian as were those that enslaved them.
