A former Labour MP who was the victim of vile anti-Semitic abuse has told how she does not want Diane Abbott’s career ruined over the latest anti-Semitism row to hit the party.
Ms Abbott, 69, has been stripped of the Labour whip over comments she made suggesting Jews had not suffered a lifetime of racism.
The row could see her kicked out of the party and unable to stand as the Labour candidate at the next general election - ending her parliamentary career which began when she was elected to the Commons in 1987.
