7:13Now PlayingAngela Rayner has said Diane Abbott should be able to stand as a Labour candidate - as she denied the party's leadership is acting in a "factional way".
The deputy Labour leader told political editor Beth Rigby on the Sky News Daily Podcast that she can't see any reason why the veteran Corbyn ally "can't be a Labour MP if that's what she wants to do".
A row erupted over Ms Abbott's future after she finally had the whip restored following a year-long suspension over comments she made about Jewish people not facing racism, which she later apologised for.
