I'm a Corbyn supporter & I think Prescot came across well in this interview and spoke his mind without smearing Corbyn. What I think this interview shows is that on policy, the majority of the Labour party agree with Corbyn. Their reason for not supporting him is largely because they don't think he looks telegenic enough or polished enough to be PM. But after the broken promises & pathological behaviour of polished leaders like Blair, Cameron & Clegg, I think the public are ready for authenticity. If Atlee could beat Churchill in 1945, then Corbyn can beat Boris or Osborne in 2020. And he defintely will if austerity causes another recession between now and then.

Amen to that. Your point about Attlee is well made.

+ethelthecat1 correct. The Right have a habit of assuming that there is no more to discuss in politics that debate is done. As you rightly point out this is not the case.

+ethelthecat1 We are all too worried about image. I see Corbyn as a latter day Gandhi!

+ethelthecat1 I'm glad you support that idiot, as he will never get in power . money doesn't grow on trees mate. yes you can borrow money to tied you over and get some growth in a recession but it very difficulty to grow your way out of deficit without cutting expenditure. I done some simple equations to calculate what we would have to do to grow the UK out of debt and our economy would need to grow at 9% for 5 years. That's more than china. Every advanced economy can only grow a about 2-3%

mrwideboy Britain ranks fourth place for global income and wealth inequality, because of crony capitalism and corporate welfare. Distribution of wealth and quality of life is the problem. Austerity wont change, just a question of who does it, the very poor, the working poor, middle class, the rich, or the new elite.

Good on Prescott. Good to know there are people who oppose Corbyn without being hysterical/abusive.

At the first ballot for Labour leader I voted for my local MP out of a sense loyalty. However, the truculent behaviour of the PLP led me to vote for Corbyn the second time around. During both ballots the subject of anti-Semitism never reared its head. Either Corbyn was good at keeping his cards close to his chest so nobody realised he was a anti-Semitic or anti-Semitism is being shamelessly used by people who should now better to bring him down.

OMG Jon Snow loves the sound of his own voice. I bet he wakes himself up in the night so he can hear himself speak.

+zaygezunt I think he's a decent and friendly guy, one of the best news presenters- though that's hardly difficult with so much idiotic self-serving right wing propaganda.

John knows about change,left wing labour to deputy leader to member of house of £300 a day club. The sooner labour gets rid of his ilk the better. He even suggested his munt as an mp.
