Rebecca Long-Bailey will launch her campaign to be Labour's next leader today amid a row over her stance on abortion. She received a huge boost last night when members of the Corbynite Momentum group backed her. And she told Catholic priests that she would make sure their 'views are heard' in a consultation on abortion policy. But one Labour MEP urged people not to vote for Miss Long-Bailey over her views on women's rights. The Salford and Eccles MP was asked if she would remove 'discrimination on grounds of disability' in abortion law.
