Diane Abbott row overshadows Labour’s health policy

Krishnan Guru-Murthy: ‘You might argue we are seeing this week who both Labour and the Tories don’t mind upsetting. For Labour it seems to be the left, with many of them angry at how Diane Abbott is being treated, even though Keir Starmer still claims no decision has been made on whether she can stand again.

For the Tories, it seems to be young people who, already facing the prospect of unpaid national service, are now told many of their degrees are a waste of money, as Rishi Sunak promised to close down failing degree courses to fund more apprenticeships.
