Sir Keir Starmer has come under pressure to remove the Labour whip from backbench MP Dawn Butler after she appeared to share a tweet describing Kemi Badenoch as a “member of white supremacy’s black collaborator class”.
Ms Butler swiftly deleted her retweet of a post from Nigerian-British author Nels Abbey, which responded to the prospect of Ms Badenoch becoming Tory leader by describing “Badenochism” as “white supremacy in blackface”.
