Abbott says Sir Keir Starmer wanted to 'finish his clear out of the Labour left' She says she expected 'more support' from her party after Frank Hester's racist comments.
Technology tycoon's comments made her feel 'vulnerable' and 'frightened' by the deaths of two MPs in recent years .
Abbott was suspended from Labour over alleged antisemitic comments in April 2023 .
She was not told whether she would be allowed to stand as a Labour candidate in her constituency.
The Labour spokesperson said Abbott "continues to be an inspiration to many" and the party values her "significant contribution to public life”. They said: "There is no doubt that she has received the most abuse of any MP just because of her gender and the colour of her skin, and that is completely reprehensible and wrong. “The party, including Keir Starmer , vocally condemned Frank Hester’s vile comments and reached out to Diane at the time to offer support."
