Diane Abbott dismisses the leadership ambitions of fellow Labour MP Clive Lewis. The Shadow Home Secretary says a leadership challenge is not on the ex-Shadow Business Secretary's mind, and - quoting Napoleon - suggests that "we all have field marshal's batons in our knapsack". She also reveals that she nobody had spoken to her about the idea of a 'Labour heartlands' tour, in which, according to newspaper reports, she and Mr Lewis would lead a tour of the UKIP heartlands to win back Labour votes.
