"I don't live in London, I live in Yorkshire, I live in a working class constituency. I've known Jon [Lansman] for many years – Jon's been around from the Bennite days. I'm afraid the working classes have always been a big disappointed for Jon and his cult. [[Jeremy Corbyn|[Jeremy] Corbyn]] was a disaster on the doorstep. Everyone knew that he couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag. Now Jon's developed this Momentum group, this party within a party, aiming to keep the purity, the culture of betrayal goes on. You'll hear it more and more now over the next couple of days as this little cult get their act together. I want them out of the party. I want Momentum gone. Go back to your student politics and your little left wing."
