A senior Labour frontbencher has told Sky News that no decision has been made over whether Diane Abbott will be allowed to stand as a Labour candidate.

Britain's first black female MP told Sky News on Wednesday she had been barred from standing in the election - but that was disputed by Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer.

Darren Jones, Labour's shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, told Kay Burley: "And as far as I'm aware, no decision has been taken about whether she's going to be the candidate or not. And presumably a conversation will therefore take place between Diane and the Labour Party."

It came as Faiza Shaheen was not endorsed as Labour's candidate in Chingford and Woodford Green, despite local members choosing her, after she was accused of liking antisemitic posts.
