future of diane abbott and her ability to stand for election for labour. so we will keep you up—to—date if there are further developments but thatjust coming in because diane abbott became the first black woman to be elected to parliament nearly a0 years ago. she this morning is told the bbc that she has been barred by labourfrom standing. the leader of the party saying that is not true. there had been a lot of uncertainty about her political future after she was readmitted by the party yesterday. miss abbott was suspended by labour last year after suggesting that you irish and traveller people didn't face racism all of their lives. she later apologised for the comments. we have been trying to get the action and the response from diane abbott. reporters met with her this morning, asked various questions. would you be standing as an independent?— would you be standing as an indeendent? ~ . ., ., independent? what have labour said to ou? independent? what have labour said to you? would _ independent? what have labour said to you? would you _ independent? what have labour said

she has not been banned from running but diane abbott has been to the bbc this morning and says, yes, she has. keir starmer�*s statement is somewhat equivocal and i want to point out that injune 2020 and the 33rd anniversary of diane's election to parliament, keir starmer stated in public that the labour party owes diane a great debt. i think it doesn't make sense to say that very publicly in 2020 and today to be so equivocal. indeed to be subjected to the process she has been subjected to. keir starmer is a lawyer, he knows that justice delayed to. keir starmer is a lawyer, he knows thatjustice delayed is justice denied and it seems to me that the labour party has been dragging this process out over a great deal of time. i’m dragging this process out over a great deal of time.— dragging this process out over a great deal of time. i'm getting more cominu in, great deal of time. i'm getting more coming in. stay _ great deal of time. i'm getting more coming in, stay with _ great deal of time. i'm getting more coming in, stay with us. _ great deal of time. i'm getting more coming in, stay with us. i _ great deal of time. i'm getting more coming in, stay with us. i will- coming in, stay with us. i will bring you up—to—date with what we know so far. asked whether his office was a source... i have seen

various reports, i can only see a what the factual situation is. the width has been restored to by an abbot, no decision has been taken, thatis abbot, no decision has been taken, that is a factual position, i have been happy to say that when asked to do so. so he seems pretty confident in that decision she has not been banned. whatever way you look at this, it is a pretty embarrassing row that threatens to overshadow what labour wants to talk about, which is its focus today on the nhs. indeed, i think it is a very sad situation. given everything that diane abbott has done for the labour party. she was elected as a councillor in westminster in 1982 at a time when they were perhaps only 15 black councillors in the entire country. she was part of black sections in the labour party which led to the election of keith vaz, bernie grant and herself in 1987. i was interested to see kwasi kwarteng speak about the importance of that to him last night. so this was a

breakthrough for those four individuals but a much broader break individuals but a much broader break in terms of british politics. she worked with stephen twigg under the blair government. he was schools minister and she was working on a project called london school and the black child. that project was rolled out across country in an initiative called aiming high. she works on this week with andrew neil and michael portillo becoming that the best known labour politician at that time and she ran for the labour leadership in 2010. show has devoted her entire adult life to labour politics and it seems very arrogant of the labour leadership to treat in this way. i of the labour leadership to treat in this wa . ., �* ., ., of the labour leadership to treat in thiswa. ., ., ., ~ of the labour leadership to treat in thiswa . ., �* ., ., ., ~ ., this way. i don't want to talk about our lea this way. i don't want to talk about our legacy so _ this way. i don't want to talk about our legacy so much, _ this way. i don't want to talk about our legacy so much, because - this way. i don't want to talk about our legacy so much, because given what we are seeing in recent hours, we're probably not seen the last of her politics, but what would you say has been a contribution? you talk about her career and her contributions, but how will she be remembered and what has she change within westminster? i

remembered and what has she change within westminster?— within westminster? i think she has been a trailblazer. _ within westminster? i think she has been a trailblazer. she _ within westminster? i think she has been a trailblazer. she was - within westminster? i think she has been a trailblazer. she was a - within westminster? i think she has been a trailblazer. she was a first i been a trailblazer. she was a first black woman elected to parliament. she was the first black woman to represent her party at prime minister question time, the first black person to run for the leadership of one of the major political parties. i would compare her to someone like... i think she was parliamentarian. she will be remembered as someone who was independent minded, who held government of all stripes to account but i don't think her story is over yet. i but i don't think her story is over et. ., ., , ., ., but i don't think her story is over et. ., ., ., ,, ., yet. i wonder about how keir starmer will respond — yet. i wonder about how keir starmer will respond in _ yet. i wonder about how keir starmer will respond in terms _ yet. i wonder about how keir starmer will respond in terms of _ yet. i wonder about how keir starmer will respond in terms of what - yet. i wonder about how keir starmer will respond in terms of what is - yet. i wonder about how keir starmer will respond in terms of what is a - will respond in terms of what is a shadow cabinet may look like. we know that they are asking for votes from people right across the country right now and it is important that the cabinet of whatever government and whatever party reflects voters. i quite agree. i think the best labour leaders in my lifetime and

the generation before me were labour leaders who drew on the breath of skill and experience across the whole of the party and put together diverse cabinets and diverse shadow cabinets. i am diverse cabinets and diverse shadow cabinets. iam not diverse cabinets and diverse shadow cabinets. i am not sure, diverse cabinets and diverse shadow cabinets. iam not sure, based diverse cabinets and diverse shadow cabinets. i am not sure, based on what we have seen about the way the current labour leadership is treated diane, i am current labour leadership is treated diane, iam not current labour leadership is treated diane, i am not sure that it keir starmer�*s approach, sadly. when he stood for election in 2019 and 2020 he promised to be like harold wilson and to bring the party together. i'm not sure that is his record though. good to have your contribution. thank you for being with us. fellow in politics at cambridge university. lots for those leaders to discuss and debate and it has been announced this morning at rishi sunak and keir starmer will go head—to—head in the first televised leader's debate

which will take place next week. itv has confirmed the prime minister and labour leader will take part in an hour—long show on the ath ofjune at nine o'clock in front of a studio audience. the liberal democrats battle buses in wales today. sir ed davey has been lodging the party's election campaign there. we appeared alongside the welsh lib dems leader, setting out a rescue plan for farmers, including £1 billion in extra funding. 0ur political correspondent is with the liberal democrats today. she correspondent is with the liberal democrats today.— democrats today. she is in mid wales. democrats today. she is in mid wales- the _ democrats today. she is in mid wales. the liberal— democrats today. she is in mid wales. the liberal democrat'sl wales. the liberal democrat's argument is that they say the conservative party has let farmers down. they say there needs to be more backing for farmers and this billion pounds would help out. they are also talking about renegotiating some of the trade deals that have been done, particularly picked out a trade deal with australia which they

say australia ought to be bound by greater climate change commitments in terms of the trade that they do on food and things. i think here in this constituency the new area, they think farming is a potential vote winnerfor them. think farming is a potential vote winnerforthem. it think farming is a potential vote winnerfor them. it is a big issue around here and did not have the areas where the liberal democrats areas where the liberal democrats are campaigning. they also have quite a number of target seat in the west country where the prime minister is today, where rishi sunak is. you are hearing from there, he is. you are hearing from there, he is not necessarily talking about farming as such today but farming is a key kind of part of the economy there and it is an area the liberal democrats are also targeting so it is talking about an issue they think really appeals to the voters. i ask this question _ really appeals to the voters. i ask this question earlier— really appeals to the voters. i ask this question earlier about the danger to politicians in the first three, they throw a load of policies at us, this is what we will do if you vote for us. the trick for them

is trying to make this look like some kind of cohesive strategy and i know we will get manifesto launches and they will lay it out in more detail, but at the moment it's sort of has that feel they are just targeting their key areas and saying, yes, it is they send this that will get us into number ten. how do they streamline their message when they are somewhere like that in mid wales? i when they are somewhere like that in mid wales? ~ ., , when they are somewhere like that in mid wales? ~ . , ., mid wales? i think that is an interesting — mid wales? i think that is an interesting point. _ mid wales? i think that is an interesting point. at - mid wales? i think that is an interesting point. at the - mid wales? i think that is an - interesting point. at the moment with a liberal democrats you and, yes, they are announcing policies but it is kind of almost better to look at it as, what are the themes they want to talk about? yesterday it was sewage, they made announcements on dentists, talking about burglaries, crime and today about burglaries, crime and today about agriculture. those are the areas they want to be seen to have a message and to be seen to be talking about. i havejust spoken message and to be seen to be talking about. i have just spoken to message and to be seen to be talking about. i havejust spoken to ed davey this morning, asking him about a few different issues and it is striking, at the moment some of his answers are kind of, wait until the manifesto. to a certain extent we

are in a bit of a holding pattern until we get those manifestos and we can look at the details of things because, for example, the liberal democrat saint £1 billion for agriculture today, that is a choice, these things for all parties have a choice, if you spend an extra billion pounds in agriculture you can't necessarily spend elsewhere so we are seeing themes, the priorities but in terms of getting into the kind of details of exactly what their policy plans look like and how, what are the kind of —— what they are not prioritising by privatising agriculture is something we shall have to wait for and for the liberal democrats i think the tone of their campaign is very much tone of their campaign is very much to take their battle to the conservative party this time to really pick out some key seats where they think they can win, where mps can pinch themselves as the opposition to the conservatives. we are seeing a lot less language from them attacking the labour party.

hannah miller in mid wales. just to tell you the head of the royal couege tell you the head of the royal college of nursing has announced she is stepping down to try to become an mp. pat colin who led nurses across the country into unprecedented strike action said she will quit her role as the boss of the nurses union. it is understood she plans to stand for sinn fein in south tyrone. elsewhere today, south africans are waiting in one of the most pivotal elections. the anc who freed south africans from white majority rule could be... we arejoined by our correspondent. could be... we are “oined by our correspondent.— could be... we are “oined by our correspondent. across the country, ollina correspondent. across the country, polling stations _ correspondent. across the country, polling stations like _ correspondent. across the country, polling stations like this _ correspondent. across the country, polling stations like this have - polling stations like this have queues forming at that around them, millions of south africans are going to polling stations today to cast

fairly north and west, it looking fairly dry. damage is around 20 and 19 i would not be surprised if it got up to 20 degrees. into the weekend, i low pressure will become dominant. fairly large areas of cloud, it is not going to be sunny all the time. on saturday, will see all the time. on saturday, will see a lot of cloud push on into england and much of wales. another cloud rolling into the north—west of scotland. summersunshine rolling into the north—west of scotland. summer sunshine is telling a little bit warmer. similar temperatures on sunday. some spells of sunshine.
