Labour's Deputy Leader super-sleuth (Dr) Watson likes to conduct investigative witch hunts in the 1970's and 1980's Conservative Party for sexual offenders, no doubt getting around to Labour MP's at a much later date.
Maybe he should be using his time and effort investigating those far closer to him with real evidence against them and a chance to answer before they pass on;
Jeremy Corbyn, Sinn Fein and the IRA: who pulls the Labour leader's strings?
"A former British Army commander says the Labour leader's links to extremists must be investigated further"

"It comes as no surprise to me to read the extent of Jeremy Corbyn’s sympathy for the IRA in earlier times and how those views contrast with his utterances since taking the leadership of the Labour Party."
"His views pre-1998, recorded in the Telegraph, are in line with the views of the dissident Republicans who continue to pursue a campaign of murder in Ireland even today."
"The fact that he has altered his approach in recent times in support of the Good Friday Agreement also fits exactly with the pattern of those who bend their knee to the iron discipline of the Republican movement under Sinn Fein."
"So it must be time for Jeremy Corbyn (and John McDonnell, who called for recognition of the bravery of IRA killers), to explain where they take their instructions on Irish affairs. On his election as leader of the Labour Party, Mr Corbyn had a reshuffle of shadow cabinet posts. One of the casualties was Ivan Lewis, removed from his post as shadow secretary of state for Northern Ireland and sacked by text message. Some have questioned if this was a consequence of his Jewish background and the implications that could have for the traditional Sinn Fein pro-Palestinian lobby."
"If it is nothing else Sinn Fein is staunchly loyal to its allies. In Libyan training camps in the late 1970s and early 1980s, IRA members forged ties with Palestinian terrorists and killers from ETA, as well Rodrigo Londono aka ‘Comrade Timoshenko’, a leader of the Colombian terror group FARC. Such ties linger, as the case of the “Colombia 3” (IRA engineers swapping bomb-making technology for drugs) demonstrates."
"How far do these links and allegiances go? Do they influence Corbyn’s views and actions? Has Jeremy Corbyn ever visited Palestine on a visit sponsored by groups with subversive connections for instance? We need to know."
