It’s great to see the Tory party descend into civil war.

But it shows how disastrous party disunity can be.

Jeremy Corbyn made two speeches during the Budget Statements, which concentrated on the fundamental difference between Labour and Tory in our policies and values.

Jeremy spoke with passion about the great moral issue of refugees , which Cameron was ignoring.

Sadly, a small number of MPs – I call them Bitterites – are still desperate to remove Corbyn. They’re gutted the Tories are in chaos and Labour edging ahead.

The main Bitterite MPs – whose only “skill” seems to have been Press spokesmen for Blair and Brown – want to drive down Labour ’s standing in the polls and encourage bad results in this May’s elections.

But as I approached the Parliamentary Labour Party meeting later, there was no crowd of journalists outside listening in.

Inside less than 40 MPs and peers turned up to hear Jeremy.

Labour can defeat this Government when it’s united in fighting the Tories and not themselves.

No one outside the Westminster bubble gives a damn about IDS.

The public are more interested in us holding this Government to account and speak out against social injustice.

So to the Bitterites I say: Stop complaining and start campaigning. For Labour!
