What a cheek Mandelson calling any left wing MP sectarianism when he was instrumental in forcing the Labour party to right of centre. A party established to work on behalf of ordinary working people who were being exploited and forced to work for terrible pay and conditions with no protection.

[deanjones]

Corbyn was treated despicably by Starmer and the Labour Party.

Mandelson is a horrid, sarcastic and rude excuse of a man.

Nick Lynch is a top man, of and for the people.

[shorelineboy]

Mandelson what a slimy creep, well said mick lynch

[briandelaney]

Mandelson has been a cancer in the Labour Party ever since he started working for Kinnock His grandfather, Herbert Morrison was the same. Always undermining Attlee. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

[neilgraves]

Love Mr Lynch, takes no nonsense from the media and the torys

[mickc]

Peter Mandelson accusing anybody of being "nasty" is breath-taking hypocrisy.

[mtb]

Corbyn is an intelligent, decent man and I would vote for him whatever party he was with.

[supernube]

would rather mandelson answer questions about his relationship with epstien than hear his snide drivel against corbyn

[HJJSL-blkk]

I worked for several years in Corbyn's constituency, although I lived on the other side of the Thames. One thing his constituents said a lot was what a very good MP he is, sorting out serious problems for individuals. Mandelson saying he got in because people thought he was standing for the Labour Party is patronising nonsense. Just like the Tories who said the 1945 Labour landslide happened because the ignorant electorate thought they were voting for Churchill.

[briankerrison]

Well said Mick.. not just speaking..but educating our electorate.. 👍👍😎

[TheSleightDoctor]

I met Mick Lynch in Liverpool a couple of years ago. Really down-to-earth, decent human being.

[rosstheboss]

Crazy that Mick Lynch allowed Mandleson to get away with calling him “sectarian”.

[annenunney]

What a piece of work Mandleson is he did everything he could do to get rid of Jeremy and so did his party and now he is blaming Jeremy for the defeat he is a total disgrace I voted green this time

[mickcarpenter]

I could only watch so match of Mandelson’s arrogance, superior attitude and rudeness

[brianvidler]

Mandelson should get out of it along with Blair. They are the last pair this country needs.

[TiffanyLaVoom]

Mendelson is a muppet, has always been one. Let's not forget his own myriad of scandals. The man is as contemptible as any Tory

[hamza]

Funny the host doesnt mention at 1:55 that Corbyn won more votes in 2017 and 2019 than Starmer in 2024. Why mention Blair, not Corbyn...when the latter is far more recent and relevant

[cerealtiller]

Jeremy Corbyn has dignity and Humility, something the Tories are unable to possess.

[chaipup]

Hilarious that the Tories now want PR when their party is destroyed.

[peterwilson]

Voted for Jeremy Corbyn because voters thought he was the Labour candidate. What a lot of tosh!
