Labour voters 'hopping mad' with Diane Abbott

Labour voters in Hackney North and Stoke Newington constituency, one of the most pro-Remain in the country, are angry that their MP Diane Abbott missed the vote to trigger Article 50.

Ruth told reporter Paul Moss that the shadow home secretary "bullied and hectored other MPs into voting to trigger article 50".

Vishal said the reason cited for Ms Abbott's non-attendance was "a pathetic argument, akin to the dog ate my homework".
