'I think Labour should welcome Abbott back into the party'

A group of voters in Diane Abbott's constituency of Hackney North and Stoke Newington appear to agree she should have the Labour whip reinstated.

Abbott was suspended from the party after she wrote a letter that said Jewish people experience prejudice, not racism.

But since then, Conservative Party donor Frank Hester allegedly aimed racist and misogynist remarks towards the independent MP, which has sparked a debate about whether she should be welcomed back into the Labour party in a show of solidarity.

Hollinrake: Labour's economic black hole is self-inflicted

The shadow housing secretary says, "it's good the economy is growing because it's not been growing since Labour took over". Kevin Hollinrake's comments come after latest figures show that the economy grew by 0.1% in November says the economic "black hole" that Labour claims it inherited from the previous Conservative government is "self-inflicted" and was caused by pay rises given to public sector workers "without any negotiation, without any strings attached in terms of productivity".
