FORMER deputy prime minister John Prescott hit out against Andrew Marr yesterday after the TV presenter bombarded Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn with a series of outdated questions.
Appearing on Mr Marr’s show, Mr Corbyn was asked about trade union laws introduced by Margaret Thatcher, flying pickets and the Falklands War.
Speaking on BBC Sunday Politics, Lord Prescott said: “I thought Andrew Marr’s interview this morning with Jeremy Corbyn was a disgrace.
“Here’s someone who is leading the debate by putting housing, social justice and equality right at the heart of our politics.
“And how did Marr respond? By asking questions to get answers he hopes will be in tomorrow’s Daily Mail.
“Why did he ask about flying pickets and the Falkland Islands? Are these really the big issues of today?
“Forget Deutschland ’83 — today’s Corbyn interview was more Marr ’82.”
