Diane Abbott 'banned' from standing for Labour, according to reports | LBC

Diane Abbott will not be allowed to stand as a Labour candidate at the upcoming General Election, it is understood.

Ms Abbott was suspended from Labour since April last year after comments she made about the Jewish community. The former Labour MP said in the Observer that Jewish people did not experience racism “all their lives”.

The Times are reporting that under 'no circumstances' will she be allowed to stand for the Labour party on July 4. It is unclear whether the MP for Hackney North & Stoke Newington will stand as independent, as Jeremy Corbyn is planning to do in North Islington after his expulsion from the Labour party.
