A millionaire donor has offered to support Labour MPs who want to
break away from the party following Jeremy Corbyn's election as
leader.
Businessman and Hull City owner Assem Allam, who has donated
£720,000 to Labour since 2010, said Mr Corbyn could not provide a "strong
opposition" and warned the party could face three further election
defeats.
He told The Times he would "do anything I can" to support
moderate MPs as he warned "Labour under Comrade Corbyn will not make a
government".
The newspaper said he would fund moderate figures prepared to
launch a centrist party or defect to the Liberal Democrats.
