Hull Labour MP faces reselection process

HULL MP Diana Johnson has said she was “disappointed” to face a democratic selection process by Labour members in her constituency, writes Phil Miller.

Ms Johnson, who is on the right of the party and supported the vote of no confidence in Jeremy Corbyn in 2016, will have to win support from local members before she can stand as a parliamentary candidate at the upcoming general election.

Under the party’s new rules, it takes the vote of three branches to trigger a reselection process.
