Today’s PMQs ought to have been a walk in the park for Jeremy Corbyn following days of in-fighting and rebellion in the Conservative party. However, a secret document changed all that, with the Times today publishing a spreadsheet which categorises all the Labour MPs in terms of their loyalty — or lack there of — towards Corbyn.
John Woodcock — who is on the ‘hostile’ list — was left unimpressed when Cameron was able to ridicule the party over the list at PMQs:
‘Mr Speaker there are five categories. We’ve got “core support” — I think you can include me in that lot. We’ve got “core plus”, the Chief Whip’s being a bit quiet because she’s in “hostile”. Mr Speaker, I thought I had problems’
Although Corbyn attempted to respond by critcising Cameron over the Budget shambles, Woodcock was unimpressed.
