UK Labour Party Internal Memo Signals Split Among Top Members

There is a sptit between the officials of UK Labour Party over the leak of Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) to Prime Minister David Cameron.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Top officials in the United Kingdom’s opposition Labour Party are at odds over claims that a mole inside the party leaked party leader Jeremy Corbyn’s parliamentary questions to the ruling party, a letter seen by the British press said Wednesday.

A Vice News documentary profiling Corbyn that aired earlier in the day showed his strategy director Seamus Milne accusing Labour staffers of leaking Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) to Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of the PMQs.

"I wanted you to know, directly, that your work does not go unappreciated or unnoticed… Every single one of you is an integral and vital part of that march," Labour General Secretary Iain McNicol wrote in a letter to party members seen by The Telegraph.

McNicol stressed that he was "incredibly proud" of the staffers’ "dedication, commitment and professionalism" in their work with officials, activists and the public.

"Every day, including weekends and bank holidays, you work to put our values in to action and for that I am extremely grateful and in awe of your sheer ability to get things done," he reiterated.

In the documentary, Milne argued that the alleged "very annoying" leaks give the Conservative Party "a little bit of extra time" and "the advantage on TV."

PMQs are a weekly round of half-hour sessions allowing British lawmakers, Corbyn first among them, to submit questions to Cameron.
