Introducing ‘Team Hostile’ – the superhero edition

With the PLP more divided than ever today thanks to the discovery of Team Corbyn’s ‘hostile list’ — which ranks MPs in terms of the their loyalty to the leader — tensions are high among Labour politicians. Now it appears that Team Hostile have decided to have some fun.

‘Hostile’ MP Jamie Reed claims to have ‘uncovered’ a new list which contains ‘in-depth profiling’ of the most anti-Corbyn Labour MPs.

While this list is clearly a spoof, it’s alarming to see that MPs are now using their time to fuel in-fighting with playground-style pranks.
