No, the Labour leadership contest hasn't been infiltrated by Tories
The Labour leadership election is under attack - or at least that is what some would make you think. Today, Harriet Harman, interim leader of the party, assured members that “rigorous due diligence” was being taken to prevent any sort of “infiltration” from the hard-left or Conservatives backing Corbyn in an election-destroying long game, following a Sunday Times report. But is this just a bit of media-scaremongering from the right? Forgive me if I don’t sign up to the widely held belief that an even more zealous reincarnation of Marx is about to assume leadership of Her Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition, backed by laughing Tories all the way.
