Hell No! John Prescott launches blistering attack on Ed Miliband’s failed ‘presidential’ campaign
Not mincing his words in a piece in the Sunday Mirror, Mr Prescott said Thursday was “a bloody disastrous night for Labour”.
He added: “We won less seats than in 2010, we lost a leader, lost a shadow chancellor and lost the election. The party is now Ed-less.
“We fought a presidential-type election based on computers, charts, focus groups and even the American language. Hell yes? Hell no!”
He added: “As President Clinton said: ‘It’s the economy stupid.’ And we were stupid not to defend it.
“The global recession was caused by the greed of bankers and only Gordon Brown’s rescue plan saved the banks and our economy from total global collapse.”
