Diane Abbot has bee the MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington since 1987.

She has expressed her desire to run for re-election as a Labour candidate but she was recently suspended from the Labour Party and there is a lot of speculation about whether she will be allowed back in to stand.

Will she be allowed back into Labour? If she’s not, will she run for Parliament anyway?

This market is about running for any seat, but realistically she’s not going to run for any seat other than Hackney North and Stoke Newington!

Candidate registration is due to close on 4th June so I intent to resolve this market shortly after that date rather than waiting until the election date, so if she registers but drops out later the market will not be re-resolved.
