Labour accused of breaking its own rules in bid to fix Hackney North selection and replace Diane Abbott
Under threat? Diane Abbott

LABOUR was accused by left-wing members today of breaking its own rules in a bid to replace Diane Abbott as MP.

Her Hackney North constituency Labour Party’s (CLP) left-wing chair, treasurer and secretary are being replaced by interim “right-wing stooges,” they said. 

The outgoing chairwoman Sue Millman, who is being ousted alongside her Jeremy Corbyn-supporting secretary, told the Morning Star the reasons given by the party concerning boundary changes were bogus.
