Labour leader lifts suspension on Diane Abbott's candidacy decision pending

Ms Abbott got the Labour whip back yesterday, but it's not clear if she can run for Labour in the election. If Labour's National Executive Committee doesn't endorse her as a candidate, Ms Abbott's 37-year career as an MP could end. Some people are upset with how Labour is treating Ms Abbott, who was the first black female MP in the UK. They think it's wrong for Labour to stop her from running if she wants to. The situation has caused a lot of conflict between Sir Keir's team and the left-wing of the party. There was talk of giving Ms Abbott the Labour whip back before the election, so she can leave politics with respect if she doesn't run as a Labour candidate. Some people think Labour is trying to push Ms Abbott out of Parliament. Sir Keir says Ms Abbott's suspension from the party is over, but they haven't decided if she can be a Labour candidate in the election. The investigation into Ms Abbott started last year after she wrote about prejudice faced by certain groups. The Labour Party said the investigation was ongoing, but it seems it actually ended months ago. The Scottish National Party criticized Sir Keir's treatment of Ms Abbott. She was the first black woman elected to Parliament in 1987. Mr Corbyn, who was suspended from Labour for comments about antisemitism, will run as an independent candidate. The Home Office doesn't have a good plan for a policy, according to the Public Accounts Committee. Rishi Sunak criticized junior doctors for planning a strike during the election campaign. The police cleared Angela Rayner, which is good news for Keir Starmer. Michael Matheson, a senior SNP MSP, got suspended by Scottish MPs over an expensive iPad bill.
