In 10pm tweet last night Owen Jones went after moderate Labour MP and Corbyn critic Angela Smith: “hiring your husband as your researcher is blatant nepotism”. Guido doesn’t say this often, but he agrees with Owen. This site has covered the MPs who employ their family members and connected parties on large taxpayer-funded contracts for years. Now Owen has picked up the campaign against nepotism, Guido looks forward to him calling out the jobs given to family members of top Corbynistas:

Seb Corbyn, son of Jezza, in John McDonnell’s office

David Prescott, son of Prezza, in Corbyn’s office

Laura Murray, the Shadow Cabinet adviser and daughter of Corbyn aide Andrew

Deirdre Campbell, caseworker for her husband the Corbynista MP Ronnie

Jackie Bate, office manager for her husband the Shadow Housing Secretary John Healey

Hilary Lavery, secretary to her husband Ian

Michelle Morris, secretary to Grahame

Ish Osamor, “senior communications officer” to his mum Kate

Nadeem Ashraf, who works for his wife, the Shadow Justice minister Yasmin Qureshi

Lois Blasenheim, “executive secretary” to her boyfriend Dennis Skinner

Paul Townsend, who works for his wife the Shadow Commons Leader Valerie Vaz

Bet they’re all really grateful for Owen’s tweet…
