Corbyn allies ‘line up top jobs before new Labour leader is elected’
Party HQ, under its general secretary, Jenny Formby, has rejected criticism for advertising senior posts in emails to staff
Allies of Jeremy Corbyn have been accused of trying to cement their power at the top of the party after they announced plans to appoint new staff to senior posts before the next leader is elected.
The party sent an email to staff last week advertising posts of head of press and broadcasting, head of policy development, and deputy regional director in London. The applications have to be made by early February.
