to assume everyone ki'iows a very westminster bubble thing to assume everyone knows who iain watson and johna it presents to moderate mps within the labour party who vocally oppose corbin and when people like luciano berger have departed and assurances, they haven't done anything materially to bring down corbyn and challenge fundamentally the climate of ignoring anti—semitism, and in some cases, covering it up. we're going an interesting time in politics. tectonic plates are shifting and realignments are often exaggerated. but we are really seeing it here, aren't we? it's not just happening in the labour party, it is also happening in the conservative party, having the whip withdrawn and dominic grieve, a tory to his core, now finds himself without a party standing as an independent. and splitting the vote. so we had ian austin, john woodcock, tom harris is the third and michael mccann fourth. he was a scottish mp. also in this article is jack straw. i'm interested to know about what you think about his comments in the past? what do you make of this? if he does become prime minister then the

john pienaar. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, is to step down, announcing this evening that he'll not seek re—electionnd is also resigning as deputy leader. in his letter announcing his surprise decision, mr watson said his reasons were "personal not political". mr watson has had several public arguments with the leader, jeremy corbyn, and his supporters in recent years, as our political correspondent iain watson reports. the labour party and tom watson have seemed inextricably linked. over three decades, he's been an official, a minister, a shadow minister and deputy leader. he's had an uneasy relationship with jeremy corbyn, but while he's resigning as an mp, he is not defecting to another party. i'm not walking out on the party, i'm going to be campaigning for our candidates up and down the country until polling day. i will remain deputy leader until then. i want to see a labour government, i want a labour team to triumph, but it's time for me to go to pastures new. applause. he was elected as labour's deputy leader in 2015, at the same time asjeremy corbyn, but he often followed his own distinctiv

the case of tom watson, say i don‘t see my future westminster? i think ian austin and johnso had the question of boris johnson day yesterday. they also had the question of borisjohnson touring the uk, promoting in scotland as minister for the the uk, promoting in scotland as ministerfor the union. the uk, promoting in scotland as minister for the union. but the uk, promoting in scotland as ministerfor the union. but the big question today is about money? the big argument looks like it will be on the economy and who will spend more. but you‘re right, boris johnson has been in scotland today, where the conservatives are seeking to defend 13 seats, and he was focusing a message there on scottish voters at a distillery. we're the party that's going to keep our fantastic united kingdom together. and actually, it's it's only scottish conservatives who can prevent another referendum next year under jeremy corbyn, who will have done a deal with the scottish national party, because that's the only way he can see getting into power. not only would he have a referendum on scottish ind

the continuing fallout from the resignation of its deputy leader, tom watson, there's been a new headache. two former labour mps, johnstin, have come out in support of the conservatives, arguing mr corbyn is unfit to govern. 0ur political correspondent chris mason reports. here he is, ian austin, at the heart of the labour party, working for gordon brown 15 years ago. he's devoted his adult life to the party as a counsellor, an adviser, attending cabinet. but his disagreements withjeremy corbyn are not new. he'd sat as an independent mp since february, but nonetheless, his intervention today is still astonishing. take a look at this. i thinkjeremy corbyn is completely unfit to lead our country, completely unfit to lead the labour party. and after 3a years, since a teenager, i've worked for labour party. in my 30s, i was a government adviser. in my 40s, i was an mp and a minister, but it's come to something when i tell decent labour voters that they should vote for borisjohnson in this election. i can't believe it's come to this, but that's where we are. yes, that's a former labour minister suggesting you vote conserv
