Diane Abbott, Britain's first black woman MP, is the latest prominent figure of the radical left to be suspended from the Labour Party: this time over a letter to the Observer opining that while many groups experience prejudice, only black and brown people experience racism.

Olly keeps it reasonable, and James just rants about the absolute collapse and paucity of the British public sphere since the Corbyn moment... and the decline of the "Rent-a-Gob of the left".
