The name being used against Diane Abbott in this thread goes way beyond all that, Nige. It has sexist and racist undertones and is directed against a woman with multiple medical issues. Do try to see the, er, nuance in this...
The name I've seen in these threads seems to be 'Abbapotamus'. To me this would be a cross between her name (Abbott) & 'Hippopotamus'. It may be a dig at her proportions, but I don't see how you can possibly claim that it is either racist or sexist.
