Diane Abbott: “Black people are fearful and on the evidence they are right to be.”

Today, following a process conducted in line with party rules and approved by the independent review process I have been readmitted to the Labour party.

We respectfully ask you to commission an immediate public inquiry into how to ensure a responsible press given its contribution to Dr Arday’s tragic death.

I have been and remain a lifelong anti-racist and remain deeply committed to opposing racism in all of its forms.

There cannot be any doubt that Dr Arday’s tragic death was the direct, foreseeable and foreseen result of press harassment.
