00:00 What's most surprising about this story is that Labour MP after Labour MP and
00:03 Keir Starmer himself have been coming out saying, "Oh there's a process, there's a
00:07 process." It turns out the process actually ended five months ago. She did
00:11 the course, she did what she was asked to do, she's apologised. So all of that they
00:15 were hiding behind the process, which seems to me to be a bit dishonest. I
00:20 think they ought to be a bit more honest with the British public. And of course,
00:23 you know, I don't know Diane very well, but she is a figure in our history. She
00:27 is the first black woman MP and I would hope that she'd be treated with dignity
00:32 and respect.
