The Andrew Marr ShowFormer home secretary David Blunkett - who has criticised Jeremy Corbyn in this morning's papers - hits back at criticism earlier on the show from columnist Polly Toynbee.
"I believe people of my age have a point to make and experience to bear," he says.
He says he wants the Parliamentary Labour Party to be more loyal to Mr Corbyn and Tom Watson than those two men have been to previous Labour leaders.

Harsh words for the new Labour leader from influential Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee (her paper backed Yvette Cooper) who suggests Jeremy Corbyn does not have a strategy for dealing with a hostile media. Why isn't he on the Andrew Marr show for example, she adds.
Mr Corbyn was invited to appear but pulled out to work on putting together his shadow cabinet. His deputy Tom Watson will be grilled by Marr instead.
