Another post, another interview with a Labour figure. This time it’s John Prescott’s conversation with Michael Savage in the Independent. Prescott puts in a fiery performance, and lashes out at almost everyone and everything within his party. I’ve pulled out some of his attacks below, for the benefit of CoffeeHousers:
On the Labour Party: “There is no direction in campaigning – we are drifting …. So there’s a feeling in the party that, somehow, we’re not getting a grip on it. There is something lacking.”
On Harriet Harman: “If I was being honest about it, I think too much of [her] emphasis has been on female rights…”
On Labour’s campaign organisers: “Those who have responsibility for campaigning – it is not reaching out to the depths of the party …. I don’t believe, neither will I accept, it is simply about money.
