I just wonder why you find the behaviour of Tom Watson acceptable? Are there no depths he will not plumb for what he thinks is his own advantage.
A woman called "Jane" approached Watson and claimed she had been raped. Now with an allegation of that nature the victim needs careful interviewing and specialist counselling but Watson immediately saw an opportunity since the alleged rapist was former Tory minister, Leon Brittan. A senior DCI in the Met Police investigated the matter and decided that the allegation was not credible and that any further investigation would be "a baseless witch-hunt". But that wasn't good enough for the London-based resident Watson (who purports to represent WBE from there) and he did a "don't you know how important I am letter" directly to the Director of Public Prosecutions. The letter was leaked and then published by a website with which Watson himself was connected in an attempt to gain yet more publicity to satisfy his giant ego.
On the basis of this Leon Brittan was interviewed whilst suffering from terminal cancer. A new police team was brought in at further expense and the original DCI moved off the case. Again the Police decided there was no credible evidence against the dying Tory but they failed to tell him and his family before Leon died. Tom Watson had hounded the man to his grave.
At no time did Watson apparently consider the appropriateness of his actions and whether his leaks and bungling would compromise any prosecution even if the allegations were true.
Now any right-thinking person may have hung their head in shame when Leon Brittan died but, yet again, Watson saw the opportunity for self-publicity and laid into the reputation of the dead man again saying, on the basis of no evidence whatsoever, "he is as close to evil as any human being could get".
This vile piece of work eventually made a half-hearted apology to the media of course, rather than to the family of the man he had traduced. Such is the depravity of the man that a parliamentary committee had to FORCE him to write to Leon Brittan's widow.
Watson has been a useless MP for WBE - in 2010 to 2015 he missed over half the votes making him the joint laziest MP. He now has a coterie of millionaires giving him large sums of money to pursue his pathetic and childish campaigns far away from West Brom.
In his campaign literature Watson bemoaned the pressure being faced by the Police. Perhaps if he didn't waste their time they could get on with the job!
You know what to do tomorrow.

I was phoned on election day and asked to support Watson's team, firstly I don't live in his constituency and secondly even if I did, and he was the last man on earth, I wouldn't vote for him, he has no loyalty to his leader so why should anyone have loyalty to him and vote for him? Truth will out Watson, very soon!!!!!!!!!!!!
