Diane Abbott allowed back into Labour Party after long dispute

Diane Abbott rejoined Labour's team of lawmakers on 30 July 2026. She was removed in April 2023 for saying Jewish, Irish, and Traveller people face prejudice, not racism. She was suspended twice, took antisemitism training, and apologised. Labour's review board approved her return, and the party says its leaders did not intervene. A warning stays on her record.
