More than three decades after her election to Parliament, Diane
Abbott is still racking up firsts. The first black woman elected to
Parliament, she also recently became the first black person to
represent their party at PMQs. Abbott came to fame in the 1980s as
part of a new generation of Labour activists, quickly dubbed the
'loony left' by right-wing tabloids. Decades later she is still a
divisive figure. Inside the Brexit echo chamber she is treated with
unparalleled contempt. Yet for her supporters she is a trailblazer,
someone who has remained true to her principles and her community
after thirty years in 'the belly of the beast'. Based on interviews
with her colleagues, her political opponents and friends from
school and university, as well as extensive archival research,
Diane Abbott: The Authorised Biography traces Abbott's path from
London, via Cambridge University, through the media and radical
politics into Parliament, and then to the top of Jeremy Corbyn's
shadow Cabinet.
