During Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs), Keir Starmer questioned if the PM is proud to be supported by a donor using racist and misogynistic language towards Diane Abbott. The issue sparked debate as Abbott sought to ask a question, with concerns raised about her safety and the importance of hearing her voice in the session.
Diane Abbott is looking to ask a question at PMQs. The speaker must surely call her soon. Would be a awful look to have a succession of men talk about her but not hear from her herself.
'Is the PM proud to be bankrolled by someone using racist and misogynistic language?' @Keir_Starmer presses the PM over a top Tory donor's comments about MP Diane Abbott, but Sunak accuses Starmer of 'double standards' after Angela Rayner called her opponents 'scum' https://t.co/9xAJZeB2Y6
Right now Diane Abbott is standing to ask a question in Prime ministers questions. As her safety is debated by others. Something very wrong if her voice isn’t heard today… #PMQs
