Abusive language such as this must not be tolerated, regardless of whether it is said in private or in public. With two MPs murdered in recent years, comments like this have a real impact on politicians and their loved ones and are totally unacceptable.

Frank Hester's comments about Diane Abbott are abhorrent. His comments highlight the appalling targeted abuse, rooted in sexism and racism, that black and ethnic minority women in politics receive on a daily basis.

Important to know if Nickie Aiken MP for Cities of London & Westminster Gareth Bacon MP Sir Bob Neill KC (Hon) MP Greg Hands Bob Blackman agree with the racist divisive comments about London from their MP Lee Anderson.

Will they stand up for London and ask for the whip to be removed and an apology to the Mayor of London ?

Sadiq has been a mayor for all Londoners.

Disagree with him? Fine.

Want to beat him at the ballot box? That’s democracy.

But the demonisation and othering of a Mayor who has unprecedented police protection because of threats is not only disgusting, it’s dangerous.

Enough.

Some key messages from Public Health about the measles outbreak:
1. Measles spreads very easily and can be serious -  up to 40% of cases are hospitalised
2. MMR Vaccine is very effective (2 doses give 99% life long protection) and has an excellent safety record

Must listen for #HRCommunity 💔

Many folks who use “woke” with contempt today probably would have hated Daddy when he was alive.

He was very conscious and committed to eradicating what he called the Triple Evils of racism, poverty and militarism.

If you’re quoting him to stop truthful teaching about him…

Did Nickie Aiken MP for Cities of London & Westminster just say 'I certainly wouldn't have done a #MarbleArchMound ' on #PoliticsLondon ? Interesting.

Nickie might not have done it apparently but she definitely was supportive of Rachael Robathan's folly at the time ... 🤨
