内容摘要：The current UK regulations that cover baby food were written in 2003, before baby food pouches came to market. They provide some guidelines for labelling, prohibit the use of pesticides and set out the minimum and maximum levels of some nutrients. But campaigners say they are outdated and do not ensure products are nutritionally appropriate or stop them being promoted to four month olds.

It might have been preferable to back down publicly when he did, rather than allowing this row to run until Tuesday when the NEC was meant to make the final call.A senior ally of the leader argued on Friday afternoon that it was time. "Everyone was aware of the symbolism. We had to to draw a line, it couldn’t just go on and on."

But it is still not official that Ms Abbott will definitely be a Labour candidate in Hackney. It’s a messy, partial end to a fight the Labour leadership didn’t need to have.

Whatever happens to Diane Abbott, the left-right argument has roared back, just as Labour should be hitting its campaigning stride.Mr Linehan must return to the court for trial on 4 September.

He is accused of harassment by posting abusive comments on social media between 11 and 27 of October, and of damage to a phone to the value of £369.He was granted bail on condition he did not contact the complainant directly or indirectly.
