Could Diane Abbott be about to stand for Labour after all..?

As Keir Starmer denies that Diane Abbott has not been allowed to stand as a Labour candidate, Tom Swarbrick gives his take, and hears from these callers.

This comes as Abbott was suspended in 2023 from the Labour Party after making ‘racist comments’.
Speaking to the BBC, Abbott said she had been barred from standing for Labour, but Starmer has now claimed that no decision has been taken as of yet.
1:03 – Tom Swarbrick stresses that Diane Abbott was a Labour MP for ‘longer than Jesus was alive’.
3:59 – Caller Pamela tells Tom Swarbrick: ‘I think you could count on one hand the number of black men that have been selected to stand for Labour.’
9:33 – Caller Tracey tells Tom Swabrick that Labour’s treatment of Diane Abbott ‘has got nothing to do with racism’.
Tracey insists that ‘Keir Starmer has turned the Party around’, and says that ‘youthful idiots on the left will use colour every time they don’t get what they want’.
