A 'Usurv' survey conducted on behalf of social media consultancy X Factor Communications Ltd shortly after Diane Abbott's controversial comments on Twitter, showed that almost 50% of UK adults believe she should be forced to resign. The survey also found that 73% of people believe her comments were racist.

X Factor Communications Ltd's Director Tony Wood commented: "Diane Abbott is a highly intelligent and articulate politician and one of the most canny media operators around. Today's events show, yet again, that no one is immune from foot-in-mouth disease when it somes to social media".
