Sounds like Gingrich & his wives

That sounds like a bad managerial cock-up re. Thangam Debbonaire, if it's true.

I put that 'if it's true' in because three of the scare stories so far circulated (the brick through Angela Eagle's office window, the homophobic abuse directed at her in a meeting, the hotel intimidated into cancelling a meeting) have been shown to be untrue. Add that to the gerrymandering and other underhand (and probably illegal) tactics being used by the NEC to rig the vote, and I think one can be excused for being costive of belief, especially in the absence of any evidence. I'm one of Debbonaire's constituents and a member of her CLP, and neither in her resignation letter nor in her letter to constituents explaining her decision was there any mention of this.

Although I don't think anyone claimed a "brick" merely that the window had been put through.

Draw the curtains, stick a Labour Party poster across the broken pane, and hey presto - our Corbyn-hungry press will look no further.

That story about Thangam Debonnaire I think really illustrates what the PLP are worried about. If it's true and true in the worst way we're dealing with a candate for Prime Minister who might forget to tell the Secretary of State for Defence that he was planning a war next week.

Yup.

They've been clearly involved, and it's been totally ignored. Because it wasn't politically useful to actually act on the real causes of the situation.
