BREAKING: Diane Abbott has had the whip restored by the Labour Party.
However according to The Times, she has been banned from standing for them at the General Election.
Senior aides to Keir Starmer reportedly held discussions about restoring the whip before the election, to "allow her to leave politics with dignity".
I would say that it is Starmer lacking any dignity at this point.
I sincerely hope that Diane Abbott announces soon that she'll stand as an independent.
