STORMS AHEAD FOR LABOUR . . .

eX- HOMe Secretary Alan Johnson has no regrets at quitting Parliament this year: ‘I want Jeremy to win, but just as [ Corbyn] was not entirely enamoured with the government I was in, I’m not totally enamoured with his front bench.’

He predicts a bleak future for Labour. ‘Jeremy and the people around him are part of sectarian politics, they define themselves by what they’re against and there will be more disruption, falling out and enmity within Labour as a result. We saw it in the early eighties and we’re due a re-run.’

How right he is.
