The most charitable version is that he tolerates them because he doesn't have a choice. He's in a minority in the PLP and balancing on a knife-edge fighting just to survive as leader. At the moment because of the fiasco of Brexit, the political system appears to be in a state of disarray and meltdown. There are pressures and signs of a major re-alignment, like the creation of kind of 'national government' based, potentially, on the creation of a 'new' party of the 'centre', made up of the Liberals, half of Labour and a big chunk of the Tories. This could happen if Brexit fails to deliver bigtime and revulsion at the failure of the political system boils over into electoral chaos and a fragmentation of the old party lines.
