Diane Abbott shills for China

With No. 10 in crisis and his party opening up a six point lead in the polls, can anything ruin Keir Starmer’s Christmas? Well the Socialist Campaign Group seem to be doing their damnedest, given their propensity for high-profile interventions to remind voters of the collection of cranks still adorning Labour’s collection of cranks. The latest leftie lemming to pop out of the woodwork is Diane Abbot, who, since relinquishing the Shadow Home Affairs brief in April 2020, has spent the past eighteen months appearing on Zoom platforms alongside various racists and opponents of the West.

And now, with her trademark tact, diplomacy and insight, Abbott has this week become the only serving British MP to endorse a Stop the War petition which blames the United States for instigating ‘a new Cold War against China.’ The statement – which could have been drafted by Beijing’s Politburo – firmly places the blame for rising tensions between the two superpowers in Washington’s camp.
