Diane Abbott is to reportedly be banned from standing as a Labour candidate at the general election - as it emerged a party investigation into her finished five months ago.

Sir Keir Starmer said on Tuesday that the party’s National Executive Committee will decide whether Ms Abbott, the longest-serving Black MP, will be able to stand for the party in the 4 July general election.
