IN THE latest drama to unfold around Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership campaign, TSSA leader Manuel Cortes accused Guardian columnist Owen Jones of “back-stabbing” the Labour leader.

The transport union general secretary accused Mr Jones of waging “a campaign of petulant resentment by a celeb no longer quite as centre-stage as he was accustomed to being.”

Writing in the Huffington Post yesterday, Mr Cortes said the journalist makes “Simon Cowell look like a paragon of understated modesty.”
