diane abbott, is free to stand for election in her north london constituency. it follows days of wrangling over her future, following suspension from the party, over comments she made about how jewish, irish and traveller people, experience racism. she was re admitted to labour on wednesday. ms abbott has yet to say, if she ll stand. here s our political correspondent, helen catt. the story that s been rumbling on for most of this week has now come to a sort of conclusion after sir keir starmer said that diane abbott, a very long serving labour mp, she was the first black woman elected to parliament, is free to stand as a labour mp at this election. she had claimed she was being blocked by the party. so what we re waiting to hear from in the next few days is to hear from diane abbott herself. she hasn t commented publicly since sir keir starmer said this yesterday, so we re waiting to hear from her to confirm if she will indeed do so. the crucial thing, though, is that it is

Bill economists and financial people can find something negative in anything. Unemployment is at 3. 9 percent. We havent seen a number like this in 18 years.

Mueller has said he would accept written answers in person also. What is interesting as well today about the Press Briefing, President Trump has talked about there being no credibility of this russian investigation, calling it a witch hunt, talking about malign actors at the fbi. Chris wray was asked why we should believe what hes saying about protec
