Shadow health minister Jamie Reed announced he was stepping down from Labour’s front bench seconds after Jeremy Corbyn was confirmed as leader.

While Mr Corbyn has not responded to Reed’s resignation, if the reaction of party grandee John Prescott is anything to go by we doubt he is too upset.

Asked live on BBC news to respond to the resignation, the former Deputy Prime Minister told interviewer Jane Hill "who is Jamie Reed? Is he in our party?"

Lord Prescott then had to be reminded "he’s the shadow health minister". Awkward.
