Williamson, who was MP for Derby North from 2010 until 2015, said it was “as if these people were put into the Labour Party by Lynton Crosby 30 years ago precisely for this moment when we get a socialist leader of the Labour Party, when the Tory party are in meltdown, when the country is in crisis, that is the moment to active the sleepers, to wreak as much havoc as they possibly can to let the Tories off the hook”.

He added: “Make no mistake. What these 172 Labour MPs have done is to declare civil war on the Labour Party membership.”

Crosby was David Cameron’s campaign strategist who was widely credited with masterminding the former prime minister’s surprise 2015 general election victory. Williamson’s comments were a reference to similar comparisons made in a column he wrote for The Morning Star.

The former MP added that Corbyn was a “great white knight [who] came to the rescue” following years of neoliberal consensus between Labour and the Conservative Party.
