Chris Mason: Why Labour had little choice but to suspend Abbott again

The BBC’s Chris Mason breaks down why Labour had to suspend Diane Abbott—again—arguing it’s less about her specifically and more about the party’s need to project consistency. After a messy first suspension over controversial remarks, letting her back in only to suspend her a second time looks like damage control. Labour’s leadership seems determined to avoid accusations of favoritism or mixed messaging, even if it fuels more internal drama.
