Johnson: Corbyn could be "servant of party I never was"

Jeremy Corbyn will be leader of the Labour Party at the next election said Alan Johnson, when asked if Mr Corbyn can "survive" that long.

Jeremy Corbyn "could perhaps be the servant of the party that I never was, that perhaps I should have been. Many people criticised me for that," said the former home secretary.

Speaking from the annual Labour Party conference, Mr Johnson was questioned on perceived divisions within the party leadership on key issues, including the EU, to which he replied that Mr Corbyn had "made it clear" that he wants to stay in Europe.
