Diane Abbott has criticised the Speaker after he failed to call her during Prime Minister's Questions, which was dominated by the race row surrounding her.

The row was sparked by comments from Tory donor Frank Hester, who allegedly said the MP made him 'want to hate all black women' and that she 'should be shot'.
'This takes place within a limited time frame, with the chair prioritising members who are already listed on the order paper. This week - as is often the case - there was not enough time to call all members who wanted to ask a question.
