AUSTIN DEMANDS McDONNELL APOLOGY

Ian Austin's crusade against Corbyn has been predictably trolled by the keyboard warriors of the left.  On Twitter he was denounced by Corbynistas with the usual 'far right extremist' tosh and John McDonnell announced to a packed Labour gathering that Austin was "employed by the Tories".  Austin took exception to this on Twitter and demanded that McDonnell "withdraw the lie and apologise".

This is not true. It is a complete lie.
I was appointed an unpaid trade envoy in July, along with 27 other MPs and peers from different parties, including Labour, to promote UK trade and exports
John should withdraw this lie and apologise. https://t.co/HP8GLJTCJD

Doubtful Austin will elicit such a response.  He'll probably get a one on one with McDonnell if Corbyn becomes Prime Minister.  In a room with no windows.
