Labour staff Unite branch sends solidarity letter to Diane Abbott and others after racism revealed in Labour Leaks
Critics have called out revelations of “anti-black racism” in the Labour Leaks scandal. And as The Canary reported previously, Labour Unite branch members agreed to respond by sending letters of solidarity to MPs Diane Abbott, Dawn Butler, and Clive Lewis, who had been targets of abuse. We have shared a copy of the letter below:
We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.

But doesn’t the much loved Dianne have a bit of previous herself regarding racist remarks?
