Corbyn's claims come in a submission to a Labour inquiry about a leaked party report which first set out the allegations. His submission is jointly with John McDonnell and seven other MPs/aides who led the 2017 election.

The submission says that given the close 2017 result, "it’s not impossible that Jeremy Corbyn might now be in his third year as a Labour prime minister were it not for the unauthorised, unilateral action taken by a handful of senior party officials.”

The idea has been dismissed by the officials, some of whom were named in the leaked report, and who are taking legal action. One said: "They are trying to build a mythical ‘stab in the back’ conspiracy theory to absolve themselves of the consequences of their incompetence.”

The fact Corbyn and his aides believed this was well-known, and the leaked party report is presumed to have been written by his allies. But for an ex-party leader and his allies to openly accuse staffers of open betrayal to scupper an election is pretty astonishing.

They now know the extent of it. Who in a political party would assume that the majority of your staff at HQ were a bunch of petty-minded racist incompetents?! And THAT is being charitable!! Those miserable little liars need to be tried for FRAUD!!

Do you realise that you are playing into the hands of the Conservative government? Who told you this rubbish?
