A senior Labour source, close to the embattled leader, said they had blocked Watson from talking privately to Corbyn because they have a “duty of care”. “They [Watson’s aides] want Watson to be on his own with Corbyn so that he can jab his finger at him,” the source said.

“We are not letting that happen. He’s a 70-year-old [sic] man. We have a duty of care … This is not a one-off. There is a culture of bullying. Maybe it’s a Blairite/Brownite thing.”

anyone know if these quotes are true? If so, wtf? His own aids don't think he can stand up to Tom Watson.

One of the New Statesman podcasts, (156), states rather ominously that Tom Watson never loses a PLP discussion.
