Attending his 51st party conference, former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott was upbeat about Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's prospects, calling on the media and members to "give the man a chance".

When asked by Daily Politics presenter Jo Coburn whether it was worth listening to himself and Tony Blair, Lord Prescott said: "Not now, no - his age has past, so has mine".

He went on to say: "I belong to the past, so does Tony Blair."
