Top interview on Marr

He got it alright, he was self critical but the bottom line is the press has done a number on Labour for years, what can be done about that unfairness ?, I thought Labours manifesto was very good but the people that own and run the media did a number on Corbyn as they would with any left of centre Labour leader.

Apart from 1997, the large majority of the mainstream press has been against Labour since I started voting in 1974 - Labour have won five elections since then. The media may have been a factor in Labour's defeat, but it was a small one and it seems Corbyn and his army of loyalists are thrashing around trying to find a scapegoat when, to a large extent, they should be looking at themselves.

I thought that the ideas in the manifesto were really good as well. If maybe one in three of those ideas had been presented this time around by a more credible leader, things may have turned out differently.

Blaming the press is like living in Wales and moaning about the rain.
