HARDLINE Labour leadership contender Rebecca Long-Bailey has threatened to ruthlessly stamp out rebellions against her in the party if she wins.
And she vowed to sack her own MPs if they turn against her.
The Shadow Cabinet minister said she could not accept dissent.
She told a growing band of moderates: We know the damage it causes on our chances to succeed, so we need to have everybody pulling together.
Id like that to happen nicely and for everybody to want to do that.
I think if people arent able to move on, thats when obviously Ill have to become a bit more ruthless.
Mrs Long Bailey was speaking at a rally in Lewisham, South East London, when she made the menacing remarks.
She even said she has a copy of Machiavellis The Prince a 16th- century guide on how to acquire and maintain political power by any means necessary.
Her revelation follows a moderate MP telling HOAR on Sunday they would quit politics if Mrs Long Bailey is leader.
Keir Starmer is the leading contender for the Labour crown.
