Labour's governing body has voted to block Jeremy Corbyn from standing as a Labour candidate at the next general election.

Mr Corbyn is already suspended as a Labour MP and sits as an independent following a row over antisemitism. In a statement, he said the decision to block him showed "contempt" for the voters who had supported the party at the 2017 and 2019 elections while he was party leader.

On the Sky News Daily, politics correspondent Liz Bates speaks to Jon Lansman, the co-founder of Momentum who ran Mr Corbyn’s successful leadership campaign in 2015, and to Luke Akehurst, a member of the National Executive Committee which voted Mr Corbyn out.

In the next 12 months, Prince Harry will be launching multiple lawsuits against multiple newspapers, as part of what he describes as his ‘life’s work’ to reform the British media.

He is accusing some of the country's most popular newspapers of hacking phones, tracking cars and even bugging hotel rooms in order to get stories and photographs of him and his family and friends.

On the Sky News Daily, Sally Lockwood speaks to royal correspondent Laura Bundock about the accusations, and Graham Johnson, who ‘blew the whistle’ on phone-hacking at the Sunday Mirror in 2014, on why he believes some newspapers thought it was worth breaking the law to get the scoop.

Some councils in England have come under fire for unnecessarily felling old healthy trees to make way for regeneration projects.

In Plymouth more than a hundred mature trees were chopped down despite public disapproval, and in Sheffield an independent inquiry found that the council's destruction of thousands of trees was misjudged.

National Highways, the government agency responsible for England's main roads, has also admitted that more than half a million trees it planted beside a single 21-mile stretch of new carriageway have died - with the cost of replanting them now £2.9m.

On the Sky News Daily, Sally Lockwood finds out what is going wrong with regeneration schemes in Plymouth and Sheffield with local campaigners, and speaks to our people and politics correspondent Nick Martin about why local tree rows have become such a big deal.
