  • That isn't "trying to throw elections" though. A question which the report expressly asks, and answers - and says that neither side wanted to throw elections. It was such a surprising claim from you (and at odds with how the press reported it) that I read those sections of the original report.

  • Is undermining the leadership during an election campaign by operating a clandestine system to channel money away from winnable seats towards already safe seats occupied by your own faction OK, then?

    I mean, were the situation reversed and a left-wing faction with absolutely no democratic mandate did that in the forthcoming general election to protect MPs from its own faction, would you think it was fine and in no way undermining the leadership?

  • Is undermining the leadership during an election campaign by operating a clandestine system to channel money away from winnable seats towards already safe seats occupied by your own faction OK, then?

    No, its a total failure of leadership to allow it to happen.

    Besides, the report only highlighted a small amount of it. Wasn't it something like £150k spent on leaflets in total?

    I'm not sure that creating a budget code in the finance system to pay for some campaign leaflets qualifies as a clandestine system to channel money away from winnable seats.

  • No, but that's a straw man as it isn't what I said. You've claimed several times on here that this report vindicates your view that they threw the 2017 election, which is just a lie - it expressly says otherwise.

    Is lying about the contents of an independent report to try and justify your factional view ok, then?
