The BNP have sent Jeremy Corbyn a racist Christmas card saying “STOP LABOUR STEALING OUR WHITE CHRISTMAS” with a photo of the shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott dressed as Santa Claus taking a Christmas tree.

Clive Lewis MP tweeted: “Just spoke to Hackney Abbott about this racist BNP Xmas card Jeremy Corbyn has just received. I’m not keen on sharing racist propaganda but I think it’s important folk see the kind of hate Diane is subjected to for doing nothing more than standing up for her beliefs #solidarity”

Diane Abbott received almost half of all abusive tweets sent to female MPs in the run-up to the general election, research by Amnesty International revealed. And the Hackney MP has been outspoken about the sickening abuse her and her team have had to encounter.

“I’ve had death threats, I’ve had people tweeting that I should be hung if”they could find a tree big enough to take the fat bitch’s weight’… I’ve had rape threats…and n*gger, over and over and over again” – Diane Abbott’s testified to a parliamentary debate about intimidation against members of parliament this summer.

I am sorry for showing this but l wanted you to see the type of horrible abuse she gets on a daily basis, we must stand against this awful stuff,” said fellow Labour MP Angela Rayner.

Media ignores Diane Abbott’s racist abuse from trolls. Until she describes what they say on TV. Then they go nuts when she quotes the abuse.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
