    Her being in news right now is entirely due to Labour dragging out her suspension for as long as possible. They could have restored the whip 5 months ago and avoided this mess entirely.

      She did attack the Labour Party and Kier on Twitter last September saying her suspension for antisemitic remarks was “fraudulent”.

      She can’t air grievances in public and expect that not to affect the outcome.

        Then why not block her from standing months ago? Either get rid of her or don’t. I can’t see how this media shit storm isn’t entirely self inflicted.

          Well some reports suggest they were trying to suggest she retire at the next election, looking at her decision making over the last 12 months it might be a good idea.
