The Concern Time host asked the Shadow Secretary for International Development inquired about Ms Abbott’s ongoing suspension.
She stated: “In regards to the concern about Diane Abbott. Diane Abbott, you understand, [is a] pioneer for the Labour Party – longest-serving black female MP.”
Ms Bruce asked why it’s taken a year for Ms Abbott’s examination to happen, still without a result: “How can that still be going on and she’s not confessed back into the Labour Party, when Natalie Elphicke’s confessed in and after that she apologises?”
The BBC veteran completed: “So does that not seem a double requirement?”
Reacting, Ms Nandy stated: “You’ve got to keep in mind why we’ve got an independent disciplinary procedure. This is not the like signing up with a celebration. This has to do with a disciplinary procedure.
“Under our previous leader, he and his cheerleaders brought the Labour Party to the most disgraceful time in our history, where the Equality and Human Rights Commission opened an examination into antisemitism in the Labour Party and discovered that we had actually ended up being an antisemitic celebration.
“I have absolutely nothing to do with the examination into Diane however I quite hope it’s been fixed rapidly.”
