Diane Abbott has apologised after the Observer newspaper published a letter written by her claiming Jews suffer a similar type of prejudice experienced by redheads.

The comments led to the Labour stalwart being suspended by the party.

She wrote that Irish, Jewish and Traveller people "undoubtedly experience prejudice", which she said is "similar to racism".

"But they are not all their lives subject to racism."

The letter - which she said was sent in error to the newspaper - was roundly criticised by politicians.
