MP and activists debate Labour intimidation claims

After claims of abuse of Labour Party MPs around the vote on air strikes in Syria, MP John Mann, the Socialist Party's Nancy Taaffe and a Momentum activist discussed the row.

Ms Taaffe said she wanted to see MP Stella Creasy deselected because she voted for air strikes in Syria. She said there had been a "huge swell" of opinion against strikes in her constituency.

Mr Mann said Ms Taaffe's colleagues were not welcome in the party and that MPs had been bullied.

Momentum's Shelly Asquith said she wanted to see healthy debate in the party and that abuse was unacceptable. She added it was a small minority who had been responsible.
