Who is in control of the Labour Party?

Tom Watson, Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, has started something with his public claims of a potential conspiracy to end the Labour Party as we know it.

In particular, he made available segments of a recording of which he asserts proves his concerns.

Basically, the alleged claim is that Momentum (who backed Jeremy Corbyn to keep him in power) and Unite Union are planning a potential merger and then ‘if and when’ the moment is right in political terms, such as a snap or eventual election, a new Leader, more in keeping with their hidden agenda, can replace Mr Corbyn.

It is also stated that this is more serious than the unrest in the 1980s as this time the threat is not external in source but comes from within the Labour Party itself.

When these claims were originally broadcast, Mr Watson was unaware whether Mr Corbyn himself knew of this issue, and I am sure he does by now as he refused to speak to the BBC earlier on this subject.

Many were concerned when memberships were sold to those who wanted to influence and see his re-election as Labour Party Leader, as this did not seem a democratic way of going about things.

The question remains, is Mr Corbyn able to ascertain what nasty thing hides in the woodshed as they say, then get rid of it, because if he does not, then I am sure an official enquiry will do the job for him.
