Labour MP Margaret Greenwood has deleted a social media message in which she praised an article which suggested that a “lynch mob” was behind the “brutally executed political assassination” of Jeremy Corbyn.
The Shadow Education Secretary wrote that the June 5 article by journalists Peter Oborne and David Hearst - which said that “dark forces made their presence felt” in the campaign against the former Labour leader - was an ‘’important read.’’
The writers claimed they had written the piece, published by Middle East Eye, because they “care greatly about accurate, truthful journalism” and as British citizens “cherish the tradition of fair play and decency”.
They suggested Mr Corbyn had fallen victim to “mob politics” which “threatens democracy itself because, without truthful and honest public discourse, dark forces make their presence felt”.
