News, Talk
Today, we look at the confusion around whether Diane Abbott can stand as a Labour candidate in the general election. Keir Starmer has denied Diane Abbott has been barred from standing for the party, but Abbott told the BBC she has in fact been stopped from standing. Adam and Alex are joined by Newsnight’s Nick Watt to try and get to the bottom of what has happened with the veteran Labour MP. Meanwhile Chris Mason has been travelling with the prime minister in the south West of England and joins the pod. And, Marianna Spring is in the studio to talk about how the political parties are using social media to target voters on TikTok.
