BRITAIN’S largest education union today expressed its “unequivocal solidarity” for Diane Abbott and condemned racist and misogynistic attacks on the country’s first black female MP.

National Education Union (NEU) delegates slammed the Tories’ biggest donor Frank Hester for saying that she made him hate black women and suggesting she should be shot at its annual conference.

They noted the Labour Party’s internal Forde report identified “overt and underlying sexism” against the former shadow home secretary and other black MPs.
