For the third weekend running, Labour’s woes remain the story. In his Sunday Mirror column, John Prescott declares that the party has “massively failed” to get its message across and reminds everyone how it was a different story when he was manning the shop. He writes: “We always planned well ahead with our news grid and during summer I met every day with my team looking at the stories and messages we were going to deliver…I joked with Tony that our poll rating always went up by the time I finished summer watch.”
Elsewhere, Maurice Glasman takes to the Mail on Sunday to deliver his mordant judgement on the party’s recent performance: “At the very time when Labour should be showing the way ahead, it gives the impression of not knowing which way to turn. When the Labour battle bus should be revving up, it is parked in a lay-by of introspection.”
