Here's a Guardian article.
Labour’s chief whip, Rosie Winterton, and its London mayoral candidate, Sadiq Khan, have been labelled as “hostile” in a leaked document that appears to rank the party’s MPs by their loyalty to the leader, Jeremy Corbyn.And a chart
Members of parliament have been separated into five different sections ranging from a “core group” of loyalists, through “neutral but not hostile”, to a final “hostile” list that includes those believed to be most negative about the current leadership.
The document underlines unrest within the shadow cabinet with a number of frontbench MPs listed in the fourth “core negative group” including Lucy Powell at education and Maria Eagle, who was moved from her role in defence to culture.
They have been placed alongside Dan Jarvis – who is seen as a potential leadership candidate if MPs try to trigger a coup against Corbyn.
A spokesman for Corbyn categorically denied a claim by the Times, which was leaked the list, that it was drawn up by Katy Clark, Corbyn’s political secretary. They also pointed out that the list included Harry Harpham, who died of cancer last month and the late veteran MP Michael Meacher who died in October. He is listed in the core group with “RIP” before his name.
Some backbenchers speculated that the hand of Damian McBride, the combative spin doctor to Gordon Brown who recently joined the team of the shadow defence secretary, Emily Thornberry, may have been behind the release of the list. The suggestion is categorically denied by McBride.
A spokesman for Corbyn said: “It doesn’t come from this office and we have no knowledge of it.” He insisted that it did not represent the leader’s views either.
David Cameron seized on the list at prime minister’s questions, joking that he would put himself in the category of “core support” for Corbyn. “I thought I had problems,” he added.
