LABOUR leadership frontrunner Jeremy Corbyn brushed-off criticism from blast-from-the-past Tony Blair yesterday, before setting out his vision of a “credible and just” economy.

Mr Blair was resurrected by his heirs on Labour’s right amid an ongoing panic over an opinion poll putting Mr Corbyn 17 points clear of closest rival Andy Burnham.

Speaking at a press event staged by the party’s Progress faction, he moaned that Mr Corbyn was the “Tory preference.”
