Shadow chancellor John McDonnell, who is running Mr Corby's re-election campaign, said it was the "wrong tactic" and "not acceptable" for Mr Smith to warn of a possible split. | |
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme Mr Smith could end talk of division if he were to "denounce" supporters "who are trying to split the party" and pledge to serve under Mr Corbyn if he wins the contest. | |
Pressed over claims by Mr Smith that Mr McDonnell had said he was prepared to see the party split "'if that's what it takes'", the shadow chancellor said: "I don't think I did say that. I don't recall that." He has previously denounced the claim as "complete rubbish". | |
Mr McDonnell added: "I've given my whole life to this party, there's no way I am ever, ever going to allow this party to split. And it won't." | |
