Example Sentences
Watson’s letter was a riposte to the accusation made on Tuesday by Corbyn’s campaign that he was “peddling conspiracy theories” after he said in a Guardian interview that Labour was at risk from “Trotskyist entryists”.
He said encouraging people to join up to back a single issue, or candidate, was “not a good approach to running a political party and its supporters, because entryists tend to be fanatics, as the Labour party has found”.
All this may in fact be being hyped up by the Tory right and left alike. But Mr Banks’s Leave.EU claims to have 88,000 supporters. And this is without doubt an entryist campaign by the post-Ukip right to take over the Tories.
