The former deputy leader of the Labour Party has said he quit frontline politics because of the “brutality and hostility” within his party.
Tom Watson blamed poor messaging for the party’s dismal election result, and also admitted for the first time that he did not vote for Jeremy Corbyn in the 2016 leadership contest.
Mr Watson announced he was quitting Westminster in November, saying the decision was “personal, not political”.
