CORBYN ALLY FACES PROBE AFTER TELLING LABOUR MP: 'F**K YOU'
A
senior Labour MP is being investigated by the party after allegedly
telling a party rival 'f**k you' because he is planning to back bombing
ISIS in Syria.
Clive
Lewis has been reported to the party’s chief whip after he swore at
fellow Labour MP John Woodcock during a row last night.
The
pair are believed to have clashed in a Westminster corridor with Lewis,
Mr Corbyn's energy spokesman saying: 'You want to start this, we’ll
finish it, so f**k you'.
Mr
Woodcock, who told the Commons his party was becoming 'the vanguard for
a sort of angry, intolerant pacifism' tweeted afterwards he would not
be 'intimidated' by colleagues.
It
is understood that the MPs clashed after Mr Lewis appeared on the BBC
and said pro-war MPs would be blamed if IS terrorists carried out
reprisal attacks in Britain.
He
said: ‘If there are members of the Parliamentary Labour Party that want
to bomb in Syria and vote with the Tories, then on their heads be it'.
Now
facing an internal investigation Mr Lewis said today: 'I did indeed
swear at him which in hindsight I regret. I’m more than happy to
apologise to John, I’d like to think he’d be able to do the same back'.
