Labour MP and key Corbyn ally shares Twitter message telling Rotherham sex abuse victims to ‘shut their mouths for the good of diversity’ – just days after attacking a fellow party member for speaking out over the issue
- Labour MP Naz Shah shared Twitter post telling sex abuse victims to shut up
- It came days after she attacked fellow MP for speaking out on Rotheram scandal
- Ms Shah’s spokesman later said the Twitter incident was a ‘genuine mistake’
- She was previously suspended from Labour for making anti-semitic comments

Naz Shah, who represents Bradford West, shared and liked the post by a parody account of newspaper columnist Owen Jones.
It said: ‘Those abused girls in Rotherham and elsewhere just need to shut their mouths. For the good of diversity.’
As reported on MailOnline, Ms Shah, a Muslim, was suspended by the Labour Party in 2016 for making anti-semitic comments online.
Independent om hendes antisemitisme:
Were you shocked by Naz Shah’s outbursts on social media? Were you baffled that an aspiring MP would call to “relocate” (that is, destroy and deport) Israel to America? Did you baulk, wondering why on earth a self-respecting politician would ask supporters to vote in an online poll because “the Jews are rallying”?
Don’t be. Because Naz Shah, and everything she said, is normal politics in Bradford.
