Corbyn can’t last forever, says Brown

- BY BEN GLAZE Deputy Political Editor

GORDON Brown has said Jeremy Corbyn is just a “phase” in politics.

The ex-Prime Minister said the Labour leader would not “go on forever”.

He said: “Everything’s a phase. Politician­s have a short shelf life in terms of life at the top.”

Mr Corbyn, 69, seized the Labour leadership in 2015 and won a second massive party re-endorsemen­t the following year.

He confounded critics with his general election performanc­e last year.

Mr Brown, who was party chief and PM from 2007 to 2010, told BBC1’S The Andrew Marr Show: “Jeremy is a phenomenon and he is reflecting people’s concerns about a whole range of issues. But, we go through phases.”
