‘Back Off on Leadership Bid, Jarvis’
Economist gives ex-army Labour MP his marching orders

JEREMY CORBYN’S economics general ordered Dan Jarvis back to barracks yesterday after the paratrooper-turned-MP made a pre-emptive strike for the Labour leadership.

Richard Murphy, the brains behind “Corbynomics,” launched a lightning counterattack to Mr Jarvis’s address at the Blairite think tank Demos, which was widely interpreted as a declaration of war on Mr Corbyn.

In a provocative speech that will stir up unrest within the party, Mr Jarvis set out a battle plan for a future Labour government and its economic strategy.
