    The Conservatives have put out a response to Jeremy Corbyn's Andrew Marr interview, zeroing in on his comments about Trident (he wants to scrap Britain's nuclear weapons but admits his party may take a different view).

    Business Secretary Sajid Javid said: "The Labour leader confirmed that he would weaken our defences by scrapping our independent nuclear deterrent and that he would damage our economy by putting up taxes on jobs, earnings, investment and people's homes.

    “This shows the Labour Party are a serious risk to our national security, our economic security and to the security of all working people.”

  5. Corbyn 'comes across as mild and normal'published at 11:58

    The Spectator's assistant editor, Isabel Hardman, reflects on Mr Corbyn's performance, external on this morning's Andrew Marr show:

    Quote Message

    Jeremy Corbyn had a very good interview on Marr this morning. For anyone in the wider, non-Westminster world tuning in (and they do), the new Labour leader would have come across as reasonable, mild, and normal. When Marr pressed him on certain issues, Corbyn looked as though he was an academic having a good debate in his study over a glass of port (or marrow juice, maybe), rather than a politician panicking as he tried to remember the next line that he’d memorised from the spin doctor’s briefing.

  7. Prescott on kissing the Queenpublished at 11:54

    BBC Sunday Politics

    Lord Prescott is asked for some advice for Mr Corbyn on becoming a Privy councillor. He makes it quite clear that you don't kneel and kiss the Queen's hand. "You hop - get into hopping - from one chair to the other and brush your lips lightly across her hand," he informs us. But it wasn't an experience he relished. "It's ridiculous, I think we should get rid of it."

    Last question from Andrew Neil is whether he'd take a job if one's on offer. "No, I like circulating on the outside," he replies, laughing.
