The long-serving MP Diane Abbott has been let back into the Labour Party, following a year-long suspension. In a statement, a Labour spokesperson said Abbott had "apologised" following an independent process and that she would be readmitted into the parliamentary party, meaning she can sit as a Labour MP once again. Abbott, who was suspended in 2025 following an antisemitism row, said she had been "issued with a formal warning". East Kilbride and Strathaven MP Joani Reid has also been readmitted to the party. In March, she said she had "voluntarily" suspended herself after her husband was arrested on suspicion of spying for China.
