Labour's deputy leader has admitted that he is not consulted on key strategy decisions by Jeremy Corbyn in remarks which lay bare the strained relationship at the top of the struggling party.

Tom Watson said the Labour leader is developing policies without asking for his opinion, despite the fact that he was also elected by party members.

He declined to offer Mr Corbyn his full support, telling GQ magazine that he believes the leader will steer the party through the 2020 general election but replying "it doesn't matter" when asked if this is a good or bad thing.
