Diane Abbott should ‘definitely’ be a Labour candidate says head of Fire Brigades Union

No-one from the Labour frontbench was available to be interviewed, but Matt Wrack is the head of the Fire Brigades Union, affiliated to the Labour Party, and currently president of the Trades Union Congress.: Matt Wrack, do you agree with Angela Rayner that Diane Abbott should be allowed to stand for Labour?: I absolutely agree with Angela on that point, yes.

The quicker that decision is made, the better for everyone, and we can get on with the debate that the members of the public want to see between the Labour Party and the outgoing government. That’s what people want to hear about, what’s going to happen to the economy, jobs, homes and public services.: But they do also want to hear about how the party has changed, and Keir Starmer’s point, one-word pledge is change, that the party has changed, and he’s the man who’s changed it.
