Shadow minister: ‘Corbyn was unfairly demonised by the media’
Shadow transport secretary Andy McDonald has told 5 Live that Jeremy Corbyn was “demonised and vilified” during the election campaign.
Speaking to Chris Warburton on 5 Live Breakfast, Mr McDonald who retained his Middlesbrough seat in last week’s election, said what had changed in this election was the treatment of the party by broadcast media, including the ѿý.
“We’ve always had the print media, which is page after page after page of press barons absolutely destroying and vilifying Labour leaders from time immemorial. What’s changed in this election is the way the broadcast media have joined in with that battle.”
