what diana has done tonight at hackney town hall become part of her constituency is seeing publicly what she has been saying privately today, which is she thinks she had been banned from standing for the seat she has held for 37 years. she is blaming the leadership, saying the leadership just doesn't want her in parliament. and she is making it absolutely clear she doesn't want to stand. it is interesting because there has been sort of a rumor, doing the rounds for a few weeks, that labour was working on a deal to let diana back into the party, the expectation that she would call it a day in the general election. it doesn't sound like she wants to stand out at all, says that she will stay the mp here as long as possible. so it feels to me two things. firstly, she has left the door open to standing as an independent mp even though she is not engaging with the question tonight. secondly, it feels like the story will just run and run until there is some finality to it. keir starmer, the labor leader, was asked about it this afternoon, he said itas wrong to say that ms. abbott was barred fro
