https://www.dumptheguardian.com/politics/2019/sep/29/tom-watson-accuses-hard-left-faction-over-margaret-hodge-reselection-effort Deputy traitor, sorry, leader Fatberg Slim pipes up for the Barking yenta. Tom Watson has accused a “hard-left faction” of jeopardising Labour’s electoral chances by forcing MPs to waste time and effort on local selection battles, after Margaret Hodge became the second MP to face reselection. Hodge has vowed to campaign to remain Labour’s candidate for Barking, after local members voted for her to face an open selection in the “trigger ballot” process. Watson, the party’s deputy leader, said on Sunday: “Our professional organisers, constituency activists and MPs are spending an extraordinary amount of time on internal selections when they could be preparing for an imminent general election. As if your actions, not to mention the disgusting Hodge's, haven't diminished Labour's chances you phuking hypocrit. “I know the Jon Lansman-led hard-left faction on Labour’s NEC are committed to full reselections but they risk Labour’s chances of election success against Boris Johnson with their dogmatic behaviour.” The hypocrisy meter just exploded. Hodge has served as MP for Barking in east London since 1994 and a number of Labour MPs rallied behind her at the weekend. Stephen Doughty called her a “brilliant constituency MP” and Tulip Siddiq said she was an “amazing feminist”. Pulling out all the big guns. The entire piece paints Hodge as a victim instead of the treasonous snake she is. Gtfo and take Smeeth and Watson with you.
