the problem for lloyd russell—moyle is that there will be an investigation.s investigation, but it will not be done until after the election. therefore, he will not be able to stand. and he said this complaint is vexatious and politically motivated. and alex, just theorising about this, it means that labour's critics internally and externally will be able to make similar arguments about they have done with the diane abbott case, which is, oh, hang on, these procedures are quite handy if you wanted to perhaps exclude people from the labour left. yeah, it comes back to exactly that point we're talking about. keir starmer, i think, has seen it as in his interest to be seen to be taking on the left of the labour party on one guy's or another. but obviously, what the timing of this does is just reopen what we know are kind of existing, different ideological dividing lines within the labour movement and they are there and they have always existed and keir starmer has been able to say he's changed the party from what it was under jeremy corbyn's leadership. he's bee

both diane abbott and lloyd russell—moyle have their candidacies in question.endents and what does it say about the organisation within the labour party ? big within the labour party? big questions to answer. >> very much. looking forward to this. sounds excellent, but you can see me tomorrow night again at 7:00. doing a nigel farage impression. but before we go to tom and state of the nation , i tom and state of the nation, i think it might be the weather with annie shuttleworth. there you have it . you have it. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello. good evening. welcome to your latest gb news weather update. it's going to be another showery day tomorrow. the showers will be much more focused across eastern areas and it should stay a bit drier across the west. that's as high pressure is slowly building in from the west. but in the east low pressure is still in charge and that will continue to bring some pretty heavy outbreaks of rain to parts of southern scotland, northeastern england, through this evening.

left wing labour mp lloyd russell—moyle announced he'd been suspended from the labour party just hoursnt dissolved following what he called a vexatious and politically motivated complaint about his behaviour. eight years ago, the complaint being lodged at such a late date means he's unable to stand in the upcoming election, and in what appears to be a confirmation of a particular peculiar pattern of purging candidates. faiza shaheen , who was set to be shaheen, who was set to be labour's candidate for chingford, has been told she cannot stand following an inquisition from labour's. national executive committee. well, they heard about posts she'd liked on social media about the israel—palestine conflict that go back as far as 2014. here's what she told bbc newsnight. >> i honestly, i'm just so shocked right now to be treated this badly after being such an active member of the party and, you know, we were one of the tiny number six tory held seats in 2019 that had a swing to labour to act like i am some kind of person that can't, you know, that isn't good at elections , you know, that el

we've just had news out that lloyd russell—moyle is now being administratively suspended.ghton kemptown mp for labour this man and the people around him really lie to an extent, which i think really your viewers out there , people your viewers out there, people listening might think, well, all all politicians lie . no, this is all politicians lie. no, this is this is something quite new actually. >> obviously keir starmer is not here to defend himself. he would, i'm sure, say that he's not the biggest liar at elite level of politics. just got to get that out there, peter hitchens, what do you make of it all? >> this is called triangulation. >> this is called triangulation. >> it's a very clever trick by which this is the simplest way of explaining it. you pretend to be right wing by attacking somebody on the left. you attack somebody on the left. you attack somebody and therefore you differentiate yourself from them. keir starmer is a man, very much of the left. he doesn't want people to understand this, particularly dunng understand this, particularly during the election.

the labour mp for brighton kemptown, lloyd russell—moyle, has been suspended by the party over an allegation it is a "vexatious and politically motivated complaint" and that he will be fully exonerated. labour has confirmed a complaint has been received and is being investigated. chris is here. it is a week since the election was called, do you detect a quickening of the pace as the campaigning is continuing? yes, just a week since it started, although it feels a bit longer than that. the pace is quickening and the jeopardy is climbing. in plenty of the parties there are the selections before the election. last—minute candidates being picked. tonight a slew of announcements from labour, a sizeable crop of figures steeped in the labour movement and outwardly likely to be loyal to keir starmer selected in seats. meanwhile we see the anger, the bitterness and the fury still swelling around diane abbott's future. an awkward case study in the anger about anti—semitism within labour in the last few years and also where the left finds itself within the labour party. the conservatives are doubling d

again to get a connection with the labour mp for brighton kemptown , lloyd for brighton kemptown, lloyd russell—moyleou now. >> can you hear me? i can fabulous stuff. so we were just talking there and i've been speaking to a variety of pollsters and they more or less have labour nailed on to win this general election. but of course, you don't want to get complacent, lloyd , but can i complacent, lloyd, but can i first ask you, how surprised were you about this snap election being called yesterday in july? the labour party, sir keir starmer has been wanting an early election all along, but many in the tory corner felt a later election would be a better thing . how surprised are you? thing. how surprised are you? well of course we were all caught slightly by surprise . caught slightly by surprise. >> but if you look at the economic figures that came out yesterday , it's not actually yesterday, it's not actually surprising. the headline figure looks quite good 2.3% inflation. but if you look at actually what's important, the consumer inflation figure , which is inflation figure, which is actually what y

lloyd russell—moyle says he has been told he won't be eligible to be a candidate at the election, becauseo. he says he will co—operate with the labour party process to clear his name. labour says it is investigating fully in line with its rules and procedures. mr russell—moyle was elected as the mp for brighton kemptown in 2017. also this evening — the former labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has launched his own campaign in islington north. he will be standing as an independent — and therefore running against a candidate from his former party. not all of the candidates who will be standing in islington north — where mr corbyn plans to contest the seat — have been confirmed yet. these are the declared candidates so far. we'll be updating that list, once all candidates are confirmed, we'll make it available on our website. let's cross live to westminster and discuss what we've seen today — with our political correspondent damian grammaticas. we have had yet another busy day in this campaign. it's only a week in the making yet a lot seems to be going on. do we know what we're expecting tomorrow

lloyd russell—moyle he basically he's had some complaints made against him, dating back years ago , he'sng back years ago, he's basically saying, this is all kind of some kind of ploy , kind of some kind of ploy, vexatious claims to try and prevent him a standing as a candidate, which he's disputing the fairness of that as well. so that's what i mean. this goes much broader. but keir denies that. >> and keir says an independent process . do you believe him process. do you believe him i do, i don't see any reason why not. i think that the test is, is whether diane will be a candidate. you know, i mean, there's no reason why she shouldn't be a candidate. and, you know, i i've been a labour party member on the labour leaders since the time of jim callaghan a million years ago. and, you know, he's he's he's not everyone's cup of tea, but i think he's doing a good job and i think at the moment what's happening with the tory party, i mean they're just i've never seen, seen a party implode as much as this. this party. and so i think he should be confident in his people that we should be a broad

i mean, corbyn, abbott now, today lloyd russell—moyle looks like he might be out .is just might be out. starmer is just getting rid of anyone who's seen as too loony . as too loony. >> left too loony is quite interesting because he apparently there's been an anonymous, or at least from our point of view, anonymous complaint raised against him. so it's not necessarily come from starmer, but the suspicion is that he's called. >> no, i'm not sure how much to say because it's ongoing, but i'm just saying let me just say that starmer is ruthless. that's all i'm saying. and also the other point highlighted by this piece is that starmer is going to have a very rough time with the left of his party. you know, the left of his party. you know, the idea that he's this sort of just godlike figure at the moment. this will run out very quickly because he's going to have because we know that the tories are an absurdly broad church that's collapsing. but labour are also incredibly similar, sort of very tentative coalition as well . coalition as well. >> summers are socialists. how

lloyd russell—moyle has said that he had been suspended by the party and could not stand under the party'sner at the next election. >> he's in a brighton seat but this is a really interesting point. pfizer shaheen, who ran ian duncan—smith within about 1200 votes at the last election in his chingford constituency. she was deselected. yes today for the chingford and woodford constituency over some past posts and social media, both of them corbynites coincidental? >> possibly not with starmer right to throw diane abbott out of the party. so joining us now is former mp labour mp bill rammell and former adviser to david cameron, philip blonde. good morning gentlemen , let's good morning gentlemen, let's start with you then. bill. this has been handled horribly. and there's sort of a whiff of, dishonesty about it. if keir starmer wants to clear out some of the corbynites , maybe he just of the corbynites, maybe he just should come out and be clear about that . about that. >> look, i'm a has been, but i don't think this has been our finest hour, look, i've had many disagreements with diane abbot

let's listen to lloyd russell moyle, who has been labour mp of kemptown.well, they could have made sure that they asked me to be able to put in a proper response. that wasn't even an option and i had to force a response upon them from lawyers. they could have seen and checked the validity of the complainant, and they could have allowed me to stand and then investigate me afterwards, like they will do with many complaints. there's no accusation that i'm a current danger to anyone, i'm a current danger to the campaign. these are historic issues around behaviour. so you're saying that if you were a more important figure to the party leadership, they could have dealt with the complaint while still allowing you to stand as a candidate? of course, the rules state that there is a process. but we all know that the labour party would not have dealt with these complaints in this way if it was keir, or if it was a senior shadow cabinet member. it would have brought down the labour party and they would have never have done that. so what's happened is i've been a sacri

he's called lloyd russell—moyle.th, but he's been effectively booted out as well over a historic allegation which he denies. can you guess who labour were thinking of standing there. >> and i've also got boy mode and girl mode and i do drama dramatic films in boy mode. and then i'm touring in girl mode and doing stand up. and i campaigned for politics in girl mode. >> i just eddie izzard , that was >> i just eddie izzard, that was the rumour. but now it turns out that keir starmer's own ex adviser, chris ward, appears to have got the gig. which brings us on to the other aspect of the labour turmoil, doesn't it? because starmer stands accused of purging the left and filling the seats with cronies, or at least certainly trying to anyway, like georgia gould, who is the leader of camden council, sir keir starmer's own council, journalist paul waugh , who will journalist paul waugh, who will have a bang on it in rochdale. the other issue for sir keir is that he's trying to say that he's now centre left, but how could he l

they should have been able to take a decision within 24 hours if they have particular case with lloyd russell—moyleeader of the labour party and our presumptive prime minister still doesn't know what the conclusion is? i think because the shadow chancellor saying she can't present a budget for ten weeks because she wants the obr to write it for her, if we elect the labour party on july the 4th, is this procrastination and inability to make any sort of decision going to be the standard operating procedure of our next government? >> come on, there have been plenty of other people who have been dismissed for inappropriate behaviour. he has got rid of other people . so why is this other people. so why is this taken? 13 suspended? because she's much loved and i think it's politics. >> politics. i think i think it's much love. >> it's pretty obvious that there's many factions of the labour party and there's infighting going on, but it would take a spectacular, you know, chaos for them to lose this election . this election. >> and it's not going to be on this, is it? >> all right, all right, all right. no

we had a private member's bill by lloyd russell—moyle, and this bears a close resemblance to it.fferent haphazard , crazy changes to this haphazard, crazy changes to this amendment. the first one didn't even have a definition of transgender identity . the second transgender identity. the second one allowed for a post office style private prosecution . this style private prosecution. this final one, you're not going to believe this explicitly for the first time, says you can be prosecuted for private prayer . prosecuted for private prayer. i'm not making that up. it specifically contemplates a private prayer. if you if you do it, if you pray with the intention of changing someone's sexual orientation or transgender identity, you can commit a criminal offence. that can't be real. i'm afraid that it is real. it's in black and white on the face of the statute. it is very difficult at the moment for any of us to take this seriously. as you know, we at gay men's network have published a briefing on this at the moment, and we are struggling to take that seriously. you know what? in fair

joining us now is the labour mp for brighton kemptown, lloyd russell—moyle. lloyd.ed about three months ago didn't it? >> you know, and it should have happened , two weeks ago or, you happened, two weeks ago or, you know, because we all know that this government was elected on a mandate that ran out on the 2nd of may, according to the law. >> they changed the law to extend it to january. and we are now in this period of everyone knowing the election's about to happen and wishing we could just get on with it. >> and, lloyd, do you think it's a good thing that, keir starmer has brought on board natalie elphicke, who's been described as one of the most right wing tory mps ? tory mps? >> well, i work a lot in natalie on housing policy, on the idea that we need not only more housing in this country, but we need to make sure that we regulate the private sector properly and even have rent caps. >> natalie is more left wing than even the labour policy on rent caps and rent pricing. so on some areas she is to the left and in some areas in almost all the other areas she is pr

last few days with diane abbott and then also the suspension of corbynite , a lloyd corbynite, a lloyd russell—moylein duncan smith and she was already out campaigning six weeks after having a baby. she has also been barred from standing. she too was a huge supporter of jeremy corbyn, as of course was diane abbott, so it does seem to be. and also i should say lots of starmer supporters having pretty much parachuted now into safe seats, to be standing as candidates for laboun to be standing as candidates for labour. so it does look really like there's been a clear out of the left going on. now that's tricky, but i guess sir keir starmer is thinking going forward he expects to be prime minister and he wants to have people around him . they're going people around him. they're going to give him unequivocal support. >> yes , absolutely, now keir >> yes, absolutely, now keir starmer will be expecting to be pressed on this. he's going to be talking to lots of media in the coming days and weeks. i imagine he's going to try and say as little as possible. will he tell us how he came to this decision, came to

you also have, lloyd russell—moyle, who is an mp who has an mp up until recently, who has an mp up until again. you also have faiza shaheen. that caused a lot of controversy because of course, she was running against iain duncan. smith's did so well in the last election, she was 1000 votes close to getting the actual seat. and people are quite angry that she is not allowed to run. it is not something uncommon. it happens with every , every happens with every, every election. the labour party does do that . the conservative party do that. the conservative party does similar things. it's just that in the labour party the members expect a lot more democracy . and i think that democracy. and i think that right now keir starmer is forgive me, stella, but is it is it a purge of the left? the purge of the left has been going for on a very long time. of course, it is a purge of the left. but if keir starmer was to consolidate that control, he has been doing that for a long time now. but now is the best time for him to test how shared and submissive the labour party is going to to be his leadersh

lloyd russell—moyle, the mp for brighton pavilion, was sacked last night., a leading economist who was due to fight chingford and woodford green against iain duncan smith. she stood last time she was sacked for remarks that she made about gaza and about her admiration forjeremy corbyn. and now the replacements have got to be found in those seats. there's talk eze izzard might be slotted into brighton pavilion. sorry, brighton kempton. he previously tried to become the candidate for brighton pavilion. there's a lot of other doubt going on. there's even a bit of a tussle going on in one of the east end seats between morgan mcsweeney and keir starmer. believe it or not, morgan mcsweeney being the labour campaign chief and it's all going to happen today. labour wants to have all its candidates settled by midnight tonight. but there's the one problem with that is that they may get further retirements or there may be further assassinations, as i call them, that people who've been sacked as candidates for one reason or another. on the conservative side, there's st
