If both Diane and Jeremy decide to team up as independents, I don't see why they shouldn't win.
Diane just leave Labour and have done with it. Save yourself the misery
She has about as much cognitive spark in her as an old worn shoe.
Protofascist Labour Party
So they tried to stamp out Anti semitism within the Labour Party, and as a result several MP's were thrown out or disgraced with no evidence.
Now they replace that so called racism with another form of racism, Diane Abbott has suffered such, if they do not reinstate then go as an independent alongside jeremy Corbyn.
Too many stupid people in this country believing whatever is printed or spouted on TV.
By taking this stance they have more or less labeled every single voter the exact same way.
WAKE UP.
Get her out the dotty old lady
This isn’t actually true though, the Labour NEC hasn’t yet made a decision on if she is the candidate or not. She has stated herself today that she doesn’t know. This originally came from a story in The Times, so it’s probably mischief making by the Tory media.
So basically, at the time of posting the last days' worth of reporting that she's banned is complete and utter [what our rivers and taps are currently full of]?
A great assett to the tories our dianne
It sounds to me like someone has taken some information and turned it into misinformation in an attempt to lose votes.
Maybe she can join the CONservatives and be their Chancellor…….
Simply put the Labour Party should not ban Diane Abbott from standing. She had a thumping majority in 2019 and has been an active member of Party for decades.
Is her son still smoking drugs
Another brick in the wall of stupidity, and the wall grows taller and taller. MP Diane Abbott might have said something stupid… but to suspend her from the party and ban from standing is super-stupid-idiotic… What society are we turning into …
She's standing.
She's running
