YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLabour MP Diane Abbott has accused Sir Keir Starmer of treating her as a "non-person" during the row over racist comments made about her by a Tory donor Frank Hester.
Abbott said the comments, which emerged in March, made her feel in danger - and she had expected "more support" from her party.
In an interview with BBC Newsnight, Abbott also claimed her suspension from Labour last year over alleged antisemitic comments was a "move against me", as Sir Keir Starmer wanted to "finish his clear out of the Labour left".
