He cannot debate his party into following him, so he uses the threat of deselection and career destruction. In any other employment situation he'd be in front of a tribunal for harassment!

And believe me Guinness if you don't do as your told by the high command in the Labour Party, be that in Government, County Council or Local Councils your out on your ear. The late George Slynn was a dyed in the wool socialist who gave his life to the Labour Party. A onetime leader of Hyndburn council, he was against the closure of an old folks home in great harwood at county hall, his thanks was deselected for his county seat, he ended his political career by standing for the Lib/Dems for county council. What a shoddy way to treat a chap like that. I can't say I was Georges greatest fan but he was passionate about serving the people but treated shamefully for it, Labour politicians are just cannon fodder to do as they're told when they're told no questions asked
