• I WAS sad to see Glenda Jackson citing Corbyn as “a problem” (Corbyn is a problem, but I love Tulip, May 25) when her stand with Jeremy and other courageous opponents of Tony Blair’s interventionist war in Iraq had been such an inspiration.

More to the point would have been some realistic remarks about Theresa May’s election campaign, already wobbling when you went to press, not lauding her as “grown -up”. A grown-up would be more up to the job.

Since last week’s CNJ the Conservative effort has descended into a chaos of backward-looking proposals on pensions, social care and winter fuel payments – and personal abuse.

And the Prime Minister has committed the diplomatic disgrace of a political attack on Jeremy Corbyn before the heads of foreign governments at a G7 meeting. Is that to be considered “grown-up” behaviour?

For me, as a long-term party member, the choice of Jeremy Corbyn has been an advantage, getting me out to leaflet for Labour in my eighties on behalf of a leader whose principle and steadiness is acknowledged even by those who don’t agree with him. I have no qualms at all about regarding him as a Prime Minister in waiting.
