The wannabe Home Secretary claimed Brits “invented racism” and called Parliament “the heart of darkness, in the belly of the beast”. It comes after the top Corbyn ally has been forced to distance herself from a slew of anti-British remarks from her long career.

According to contemporary reports the incendiary remarks were made to a US conference for radical left wingers in 1988 — but last night sparked fury.

Top Tory James Cleverly hit out: “Many people feel that Corbyn’s core team, including Diane Abbott, don’t really like Britain and British people. These quotes prove it.”

Racist is what you call majority white countries you wish to take over or what you call white people you want to control.

I hate to agree, but it is true.... but that racism includes dislike of the Irish, and Jews, and Polish immigrants.

She makes it sound almost as if racism were a bad thing...
