Tom Watson caught in drunken foul-mouthed tirade at labour conference
A video being shared on social media appears to show the Labour deputy telling a group of Labour activists that they’ll be “mauled” and referring to himself as the “king grizzly”.
Footage is being shared across social media that appears to show a visibly drunk Watson comparing himself to a bear and threatening to “maul” a group of Labour activists at a conference event that took place at No. 32, a trendy bar not far from The Hilton Metropole.
The footage, taken and uploaded by activist Constantine Jelqin, also appears to show Watson demanding “a bit more f*cking respect” from the bar staff, who had apparently refused to serve the Labour deputy leader for being drunk and abusive:
“He was sick a couple of times and could barely speak. Then he disappared for an hour and came back with crazy eyes, his jaw swinging all over the place. He tried to order a drink and when we asked him to leave he went ballistic and started ranting about “Trots” and telling us how powerful he is.
“He asked us to change the music and we refused. Then he was telling people how secure his basement is and winking. It was completely gross.”
“The mess he left in the toilet is the worst thing I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been working in bars since I was 17. He wrote “King Tom” and “Corbyn bastard” in his own shit on the bathroom door.”
A spokesman for the deputy declined to comment.
