I find this so offensive and to add insult to injury he's a Labour fave, parachuted into a safe seat in Durham while people like Faiza Shaheen and Diane Abbott are hounded.
There is so much wrong with Labour right now. I feel politically homeless.

He said it concerned ‘a debate about whether you would say that “Black” is a physical description and a narrow description of a of an ethnicity or whether Blackness is a political concept about being victimised by racism by white people’.

This election gets better and better...

He looks like his name should be dick, both for the chin and the ignorance.

I'm voting Green

Hope, he loses, safe seat or not.

He's not been allowed to stand due to allegations of him sexually harassing a woman.

Wrong person. Luke Akehurst still standing as far as I'm aware.

"Abbott, Labour MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington, worked with Akehurst for several years while he was a Labour councillor in Hackney. “I know Luke Akehurst well,” Abbott told Novara Media. “But we were never close politically or personally. And my understanding is that, on top of all his other activities, he devoted time as each general election came round to trying to get me deselected.”
