      If you'd supported your incredibly popular leader, instead of plotting against him & briefing the Tory media, Labour may have won outright.

      Biggest vote % in Leeds Central since 1931. Majority as big your vote last time. We all know why. Will you apologise for trying to oust him?

      Yes Hilary but you are not the same calibre as JC and the votes were for his leadership and not for your devious little moves.

      Now imagine what you can achieve if you back your leader properly. No more snakey behaviour. And I think he deserves your gratitude too?
