Prescott on Labour leadership race and Miliband comments

John Prescott has been critical of the current field of candidates wanting to be the next Labour leader for their lack of experience.

And the former deputy prime minister said he wished Ed Miliband had not resigned so quickly, and should have stayed on for a transition period.

Lord Prescott also criticised David Miliband, when he told Andrew Neil: "He should shut up. Look, we've gone through that period, the Miliband period is now gone. We're not looking to a period where he emerges as another Miliband interpretation. I don't think that's possible. Get on with your international job. Don't come over here telling us we do."
