Labour MPs urged to keep attacking Corbyn

MODERATE Labour MPs must wage a campaign to undermine Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership “year after year” or the party will die, Alan Johnson has warned.

The former home secretary called on the centre-Left to “recapture this party” from Mr Corbyn and his socialist allies by emulating their record of opposing previous Labour leaders.

Mr Corbyn is expected to be re-elected as party leader but he lacks the support of most of his own MPs.

The Labour leader said yesterday he would make a peace offer to MPs to try to persuade his critics to return to the shadow cabinet.

However, Mr Johnson said: “Just as the [Left-wing] Campaign group carried on year after year undermining whoever was the Labour leader, so we’ve got to do the same. We’ve got to recapture this party again.”
