Exclusive: The meeting will raise questions about Tom Watson’s recent activity, amid suspicions among Jeremy Corbyn’s allies that he is manoeuvring against the Labour leadership.
Labour’s deputy leader Tom Watson, who has led the recent internal criticism of Jeremy Corbyn, had dinner with a key strategist behind the plan for a new centrist party on Thursday night.
Both Watson and Collins confirmed to BuzzFeed News that they had dined together. Neither denied that they discussed the plans for a new centrist party, but they said that was not the focus of the meeting. A spokesperson for Watson said: “Tom did meet Phil last night. Phil had asked Tom to talk about his new policy initiative in the PLP, that was what it was about”.
