Corbynistas had near total control of the party for years. They had the Leader, Shadow Cabinet, the NEC, NCC, General Secretary, Whips, comms, and majority of CLPs. They leave an EHRC investigation and the most disastrous election result since before Kit Kats existed. 1/5

Now this obviously partisan leaked 'report' is not simply a naked attempt to exonerate their messiah & shift blame towards their political enemies, it's a scorched earth offensive. If they can't have the party, then they will destroy as much of it as they can for anyone else.2/5

The supposed 'party of the workers' has just recklessly (possibly criminally) exposed private details of whistleblowers in a cackhanded attempt to protect their former boss and somehow save what remains of 'the project'. Already outriders are spinning facesaving narratives. 3/5

This was the plan ever since the EHRC investigation was announced. People like Milne, Formby, Murray, and Murphy mixed this particular molotov for just such an occasion. They waited till the new leader was installed, then they lit it and lobbed it into the public domain. 4/5

Now lawsuits will fly, the Party's budget spent on lawyers and fines, whistleblowers put at risk, days and weeks of media feeding frenzy on the fallout that will probably propel the Tories even further ahead in the polls. All this due to the narcissism of a very mediocre man. 5/5
