  1. What evidence do you have of positive discrimination? All she said was that black people suffer racism more often than some other groups which is obvious because they have a visible difference and the backgrounds of other groups would not be known unless they chose to reveal it. If being a terrible MP was a reason for ejecting her, she's certainly no worse than all the terrible MPs in the Tory government. There's no reason to believe that she was a terrible constituency MP and it's for the local party and her constituents to decide who they want to represent them. People don't like outsider clones being parachuted in at the last minute by the party leadership.

  3.  @westcoast747  She doesn't dislike white people but she was the first female black MP elected to Parliament 33 years ago and given the inequality and discrimination around you would expect her to bat for her constituency, just as Tory MPs bat for the wealthy and the corporate lobby groups.

  4. What a terrible crime.

  5. Then are you proposing to do without a democratic system? What do you put in its place? Even Churchill said democracy is the worst system except for all the alternatives.

  6.  @ScarsNotFresh  Yes and it was a silly comment. They are not all useless, only the ones in government and that's because Boris J appointed a lot of useless MPs to Ministerial roles so that they would not show up his own incompetence. I do remember Labour governments that achieved things and that can happen again if Starmer lets it.

  7. That should be up to her local party and her constituents.

  8.  @robtyman4281  That should be up to her local party and local voters.

  9.  @julian-xd6iz  O what a crime? If only the Tory useless and corrupt had merely had a problem with their shoes.
