This is a story appearing as a lead in the Guardian:
*A senior Labour source, close to the embattled leader, said they had blocked Watson from talking privately to Corbyn because they have a “duty of care. They [Watson’s aides] want Watson to be on his own with Corbyn so that he can jab his finger at him,” the source said.
“We are not letting that happen. He’s a 70-year-old [sic] man. We have a duty of care … This is not a one-off. There is a culture of bullying. Maybe it’s a Blairite/Brownite thing.”*
So Mr Corbyn is too fragile to see his own deputy leader yet we Labour supporters are expected to convince the doubters he can do the job of Prime Minister?
