It feels like an unnecessary risk getting rid of Abbot now. She is popular in her constituency so if she runs as an independent she could win. They’ve obviously longed it out to give her little time to prepare to do that, pretty callous.

Agreed if appears to of been dragged out to give her the least time to prepare to run as independent, if newsnight hadn't forced thier hand no doubt she still wouldn't of been told she can't run

Then they gaslighted her claiming they were offering her the opportunity to step down "with dignity". Shameful stuff.

I think Abbot standing may well lose them more seats than the fairly slim chance of her taking one seat as an independent.
Rightly or wrongly she is not popular with whole swathes of the electorate.

Agreed, terrible, comes across as the worst kind of politician, evasive, smug and condescending
You would of expected having a solid answer on Dianne Abbott this morning would of been heavily prepared
