Tom Clark (Blair’s frail legacy,11 December) talked good sense about the need to transform the political discourse. As a Labour member who voted for Jeremy Corbyn, I am still supportive of the man, or his values and his message. I contain not moved left – it was the party that moved to the right after Blair and left people like me – middle course,70 – feeling alienated and furious. I lament the inability of senior Labour MPs with valuable ministerial experience to understand that the thousands, traditional and young, or who elected Corbyn are sending them a clear message about the core value of distributive justice and its support in this country. They could choose up this message either in support of Corbyn or instead of him – it is the only message that will win my vote. They contain five years to add their competence and experience to his untried idealism,to increase the Labour vote against this heartless government that was elected by just a minority of the population.
