'I'm so shocked': Labour would-be MP Faiza Shaheen has candidacy pulled over series of Tweets. The Labour party member was told her candidacy was removed after she liked a series of Tweets.
A former Labour election candidate is threatening the party with legal action after she was dropped at the last minute in a 'purge' of leftwingers.

Ms Rayner's intervention came after Sir Keir had denied purging leftwingers but refused to back down in his campaign to change the party from that led by Mr Corbyn. However it comes after she herself was accused of racism over a 2019 tweet about then Home Secretary Sajid Javid. MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle said he has been suspended by the party over what he called a 'vexatious and politically motivated complaint'
She also lashed out at anonymous briefings against Ms Abbott, saying: 'Diane Abbott has given 37 years of service to the Labour party and also to the country. She is the first female black MP to come into parliament and she has been a trailblazer.

Josh Simons, the director of the Starmerite Labour Together think tank, has been made the candidate in Makerfield 'But I've always had the aspiration that we will have the best quality candidates as we go into this election.'
