speaking to nick robinson's political thinking podcast, the former prime minister said mr corbyn posesat to the future of the party. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is in westminster. we knew there was not much love lost between tony blair and jeremy corbyn, but this takes it to a new level? it's a reminder of how much the labour party has changed, for all those years tony blair was prime minister, jeremy corbyn sat on the backbenches. frankly, postman pat was more likely to be invited to the cabinet table than jeremy corbyn then. nowjeremy corbyn is in charge and tony blair is reflecting he is solidly in charge, that the labour party has fundamentally changed. he is asked on the podcast, if he was a 21—year—old now, would hejoin? tony blair can't offer a definitive a nswer to blair can't offer a definitive answer to that question. he was particularly critical of the row that's dominated news about the labour party over the summer, the row about anti—semitism. take a look at this. imean, i mean, this anti—semitism thing has been bad because, as i say, it's been, in the end, som

still with us, joyce vance, eugene robinson and michael steele. mr. chairman, i heard kasie hunt report tonight that part of what is motivating the clock, the 9:30 hearing, the word that there may be a full senate vote as early as saturday, is that they don't want her story to sit with people that long because it may, it may come back and resonate. >> right. >> her decency and her obvious expertise in her field may rattle around in folks' heads. it's sad. >> it's sad, and i think largely true. bu but i would say to that extent, brian, the story already resonated. it resonated in the time she was sitting in that chair confronting that chamber. but here's the bottom line in all of this. there was a moment, and i think it was triggered by lindsey graham, where he basically was saying to the leadership and to the republicans, we are going to die on this hill. we are prepared to die on this hill. and, and that means that we will vote him out of committee tomorrow and we will vote him on to the bench whether it's on saturday, sunday or monday. it will happe

speaking to nick robinson's political thinking podcast, the former prime minister said mr corbyn posesntial threat to the future of the party, and many within the party believe that it is "lost". jeremy corbyn has responded to previous criticism from mr blair by noting that he is entitled to his opinion, but that "politics has changed". let's speak to our political correspondent chris mason. tell us more about what tony blair is saying and whether he is offering any alternative? good morning. it is intriguing. let's be honest, dead dogs in the street have probably clocked by now that tony blair and jeremy corbyn are not exactly on the same page when it comes to labour party policy. for all of those years that tony blair was prime minister and jeremy corbyn was perched on his backbenchers, mr blair was more likely to recruit postman pat is a home secretary then bring upjeremy corbyn and offer him a job in the cabinet. but what is striking in this conversation, a 30 minute conversation, where minute by minute tony blair is full of gloom about the future of the party and talking about and
